What makes you think that corporations can’t pay developers of open source code? You may not be able to characterize it as a “donation” but I don’t think you have to in order to get the money to flow. Corporations make all kinds of “ordinary and necessary” business expenditures. (See IRS publication 535.) Note that “necessary” in that phrase is more like “helpful” than “absolutely required and unavoidable” in definition. If the dev wants the money and the company wants to pay it, I’m sure they can make it happen. |
