In case you weren't aware, Anthropic, OpenAI and GitHub Copilot all have programs that provide access to open source maintainers for free:
GitHub: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/copilot-on-github...
Anthropic: https://claude.com/contact-sales/claude-for-oss
OpenAI: https://developers.openai.com/community/codex-for-oss
> The Claude for Open Source Program is our way of saying thank you for all your hard work, with 6 months of free Claude Max 20x. Apply now.
> Six months of ChatGPT Pro with Codex for day-to-day coding, triage, review, and maintainer workflows
Those are free trials pending their approval in hopes of more paying customers, nothing more.
Was there comprehensive survey amongst maintainers that its fair price for decades of hard work?
