This reminds me of the recent YC post on the Token Effect [1], where they were arguing that tokens provide a way for decentralised protocols to capture the value of the network.

It's dead right that open source provides tremendous value for companies and that open source projects tend to capture only a fraction of the value they create.

This project looks like a much simpler response to the problem: if a handful of companies signup to support the platform then the platform will make it easy for other companies to support the development of the software their businesses rely on.
