More #dotnet OSS libraries announcing going to commercial models today.

Which got me thinking: Why can't we pay for libraries over the hosting bill?

If you're deploying to Azure, provision a "MediatR license" resource with your IaC, and put the license key in your key vault.

Or let libraries have a ".WithAzureLicense()" option, that just gets a license from the current subscription/tenant.

This would empower developers to pay for libraries, the same way that we have freedom to add resources and scale services up/down.

Why should library licensing be any different?

Can someone ( @shanselman@hachyderm.io ) run this idea up the chain? :D

@malwaretech@infosec.exchange they are finally going to make me switch to Linux aren't they?

@malwaretech@infosec.exchange I think it's the sheer amount of Chinese shell companies trying to sell crappy medical supplies to seniors like my mom.

@shanselman@hachyderm.io Any chance this would fit your Hanselminutes podcast? Barry has some very interesting thoughts on philosophy and architecture.
