The future of open source monetization

The future of open source is to reward open source developers with minted crypto money (instead of current inefficient or not working ways to monetize). It can be done with my Ethereum Reward Courts software.

Open source usually benefits the entire world, but only a small number of people or companies provide reward for an open source product. Instead we should mint money creating inflation in the entire world spread approximately equally between all and reward open source with those minted money. It means that open source will be both free and paid: free for users, paid by the entire world (the entity who benefits).

This way we could turn most of the closed source software into open source, because open source will become more profitable than closed source, due to a more just spreading of spents.
