Pypy and Wine both have good models.

With pypy, funding goes towards particular projects (e.g. STM).

This may not be suitable for all projects or developers (libjpeg turbo being an example - he wants the freedom to be research lead and work on what he likes).

If anyone, then the FSF should be looking into this problem, study all the models used, which are successful and provide some sort of template model for people to use.

Licensing may be an issue, can you do the Sidekiq or Wine model when your code is GPL ?



You can license your code however you like as long as you own the copyright. You can license it as GPL and sell an alternative commercial license for money.
