The projects help us create new services,\nproducts and much more. A lot of people and companies try their best to\ncontribute back to the community, which is great, we just need more of it.\n\nI want to create a license for open-source work that will require users of the\nprojects using this license to contribute to any open-source work in any way\nthey can.\n\nLet's find a way to make paying it forward the norm. Where would your startup or\nproduct be today without open-source? Would you be able to ship a new product in\na few months without using open-source projects?\n\n## License\n\nLicense text can be found in [LICENSE.md]\n\n## Examples\n\nCompanies using open-source projects with this license could have a public\nopen-source policy, which would show how they contribute to open-source.\n\nA person/company creating a project/product using an open-source project with\nthis license finds a bug in the open-source project should takes the time to\nsubmit an pull-request to fix that bug instead of just fixing it locally.\n\n## Goal\n\nI hope that this license or a similar license will become the most popular\nlicense used by open-source projects to help open-source in general getting more\ncontributions of any kind.\n\n# Contribute\n\nPlease open an issue to start a discussion. Submit a PR to suggest changes,\nadditions, etc.\n\n[LICENSE.md]: LICENSE.md\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzimme%2Fopen-source-contribution-license","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzimme%2Fopen-source-contribution-license","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzimme%2Fopen-source-contribution-license/lists"}
