First, I would like to clarify Gary’s email as I don’t think he characterized it quite correctly. The Logging PMC concluded we could not be part of an arrangement with TideLift and that the issues needed to be worked out at the foundation level. The primary issue was that TideLift had

Yeah. I am observing (and also applauding) Chris's effort and the problems/struggles, and I think the Tidelift (and similar) model does not solve any of the problems of individual contributors who want to get paid. I might be very wrong here - of course - no monopoly on understanding the Apache

I don’t agree. First, the “added value” Tidelift provides is not our problem. If they can’t attract customers then the individuals on the projects they support won’t get any money. But, as I said, Tidelift could have a mechanism to fulfill their promises if the ASF had overall project

Tidelift's model, which expects that maintainers do have direct and almost unassailable control over a project, is not compatible with the Apache Way. Tidelift's model works well with projects in which developers and maintainers can "do stuff" without worrying about building a consensus around

You are still confusing how individuals in ASF projects can work with Tidelift (or vice versa) vs why anyone would pay them. I don’t care why people pay Tidelift nor do I see a reason I should have to. The fact that you see no added value doesn’t mean people won’t pay them, even if it is just
