Wonderful project!
How does number of downloads necessarily coorelate to values? What about forks and royalties? Does this necessarily need to be based on blockchain?
Large projects can monetize in other ways. It's best for small but technically essential libraries. e.g., like vue-xxx, rollup and moment. By issuing a new token, it is possible to monetize without changing the license while keeping OSS free.( https://medium.com/devtoken/dev-tokens-for-oss-a63e55c60e6b )
