I don't deny it. I just feel that your comment suggests that it's super-easy: if you use the software, the author should get paid. But it's not easy. Because who is the author?

Right, obviously some type of model is needed. You'll want to reward everyone by using some ratio, commits, LOC, how many issues they resolved, etc. Anything is easy if we put our minds to it, I feel like no one has cared enough about this issue. Github just kind of patched it with the donation button but honestly how many people donate if they already have the source code?
