TLDR: Companies should be required to pay developers for any open source software they use.

He imagines a simple yearly compliance process that gets companies all the rights they need to use Post-Open software. And they’d fund developers who would be encouraged to write software that’s usable by the common person, as opposed to technical experts.

It’s an interesting concept, but I don’t really see any feasible means to get this to kick off.

What are your thoughts on it?

You need to read the article yourself before writing TLDR. Spoiler: it is not about payments, it is about source code availability.

Depends: “TL;DR or tl;dr, short for “too long; didn’t read”, is internet slang indicating that a block of text has been ignored due to its length.[1] It is also used to introduce a summary of an online post or news article,[1] as well as an informal interjection.[2]”
