I think the 1% is so that a company didn’t shy away from open source completely. I don’t know how it will work for example if the company is using 5 of this license. Will they pay 5% or 1%? Probably 1%, but I didn’t see it addressed in the article. Anyway, since the cost is small for a big company, but can be huge in number for an individual, I think it is fair.
Also, what if a contributor is acting on behalf of a company? Would the company receive the payment or the individual contributor? There is just so much to cover.
