I wonder why developers won't organise and demand royalty payments for their code?
It's crazy that company pays once for the software and makes money off of it forever but don't share those profits with developers.
I like the idea, and the industry continues to screw over developers, but there would be practical problems to a royalty plan.
Companies don't pay once for software, they hire a software team to maintain the code.
How would the royalties work? Do they all go to the person who first wrote the code? Based on the git blame of every line, so devs are always looking to rewrite as much as possible?
