+title: some axes for a taxonomy of open source
+description: a list
+---
+
+- maintenance effort and expectations: professionally maintained / casually maintained / not maintained
+- source of priorities: owner-driven / community-driven
+- desire for input: PRs welcome / issues welcome / view-only
+- license standards: bare minimum / give code back / don't be evil / be specifically good
+- how bills get paid: not users' problem / crowdfunding / selling support / we productized the hosting so if you also productize the hosting you're being a dick
+
+<details>
+<summary>for example</summary>

+- React is professionally maintained, owner-driven, PRs welcome, bare minimum, not users' problem
+- MongoDB is the same but give code back and we productized the hosting
+- SQLite is professionally maintained, owner-driven, issues welcome, bare minimum, selling support
+- anything that runs on github sponsors or patreon is crowdfunding
+- the Hippocratic License or some of the others are don't be evil
+- ACSL counts as be specifically good
+- anti-licenses are the secret fifth tier of license standards, Good Fucking Luck
+- some projects are actually community-driven but I can't think of one off the top of my head
+- most of my side projects are not maintained, owner-driven, view-only, Good Fucking Luck, and crowdfunding at the time they were written but currently not your problem.
