Funny how nobody’s talking about the *real* cash cows in open source—those who pivot from community-driven projects to dual licensing or NFT incentives. The research here leans on low-quality sources, like a Reddit thread about a game’s “cash cow” or a YouTube vid on rare coins. But let’s not ignore the obvious: when companies tokenize contributions or layer blockchain “incentives,” are they really empowering devs or just rebranding exploitation? The term “community treasure” sounds noble, but follow the money—who’s profiting when code becomes a asset class? Meanwhile, the original post’s link hints at “sustainable innovation,” but sustainable for whom? Let’s dissect the hype vs. the hidden agendas.
