It would be great if all open source required payment of at least 1 dollarcent for enterprises, to make sure the purchase accounting layers are working in case anyone wants to send more money.

For 1 cent, we can still call it "free" even as in beer, the amount is small enough for that to be fair.

And if the penny isn't paid, no source? Then it's not open source. And practically speaking, no one will pay that.

And in order to pay that 1 cent, you have to pay 23 cents or so to a payment processor.
