It's because all those people think that if they work harder, maybe, just maybe, they will be like him.

I don't think we need more licenses. OSS license proliferation is bad as it is. IMO, people should do their best to stick with the major licenses: GPL, AGPL, MIT, or Creative Commons if it doesn't fit the above.
The problem with a tax that you've proposed is that it would be nearly impossible to enforce. How would you know which companies are pulling your library?
What I've been doing is adding the Commons Clause to my license and that I think helps. I don't write wildly popular software so I don't really see people donating or asking to purchase a license.
I personally like the Mozilla model where they donate to various open source projects from a common fund. I'd like to see more stuff like that.
It sort of is by license. Not directly but if you're using one of the more restrictive licenses like GPL 3, it often doesn't pass legal review due to many of the copy left provisions.
Most companies simply find a similar library that has a more permissive license. A handful will contact the dev and buy a license.
As much as the MIT license has made code more accessible, its permissiveness is the main reason I don't use it for my own software, unless I really don't care for it.
I think there is some bug in apps where it can double post if you hit submit more than once by accident.
Best Buy is great when you need something right now. Like when a hard drive in your RAID dies and you need a hard drive right fucking now.
Buy yeah. I've only gone maybe once in the last five years.
Why do you have so many porn tabs open?
I think it's perfectly reasonable for people to have an opinion on various topics. They may be well informed or horribly misinformed.
The main issue is whether they can learn enough to either strengthen or weaken their view. And it sounds like Penn has.
My assumption is that it's only $0.20 because the assumption is that the C-suite of whoever is selling the strawberries is expected to lower their profit margins.
And we know that's never going to happen.

Do you mean 2031? Because I'm fairly sure our stupidity will lead to us blowing up the planet way before 3031.
The irony in this quote.....
Sending an email is much much better than sending a literal hand written letter.
I had one opt out where you had to hand write the letter and envelope. Absolutely no way it was enforceable but didn't want to risk it at the time.
