Thanks for the link to Rich Hickey's post. How software development should be funded is something I've been thinking about for a while now, and I hadn't come across that link yet. He gives a good summary of the existing situation. (For anyone interested, it's also reprinted on the Clojure website [1].)

I tend to agree with the points that Bradley Kuhn makes in one of his blog posts [2], but I'm still trying to figure out how direct payment for time spent would work for non-obvious scenarios, like end-user desktop or mobile apps.
