If a developer wants to charge for the source, they can put that in the license.

So you choose who it goes to? Nahhh. You would only pick the ones you like. You would totally ignore BusyBox or GNU Coreutils any time you hit ls, but I bet you use that more than most others.

So really developer funding should be based on usage stats.
