I can&#x27;t help but wonder if Django wouldn&#x27;t do better with a multi-licensing strategy like MongoDB uses. Asking for donations typically doesn&#x27;t work out so well.<p>I see a lot of underfunded open source projects. The whole internet seems to run on them. OpenSSL was one prominent example. I don&#x27;t think it is coincidence that they are almost always BSD type licenses.<p>To me BSD licensing just seems like the starving artist living on the good will of a few wealthy donors. Donors who frequently end up steering the project. Multi-licensing seems like a healthier approach.
