    Good that you mention it! Is there a tool that helps me list all of the open source tools I use and divide a fixed donation (say 1% of my income) between them?

    That could even be further improved by keeping usage statistics of the software I run.

    That way I‘d probably support my OS the most but the more useful stuff would also get more donations.

    If that spread, income streams would steadily increase.

    Edit: now another idea came to me. How about a pact like the fedi pacts for behaving a certain way? Just with donating 1% of income/profit to open source projects you use. That could become a trend and probably change open source A LOT.
