If I may, we need to transform the Web from feudalism into a into a free market. Open source software is the way to do this, but it would be great if authors could monetize open source software anytime it is used by a hosting company to make money itself. Same goes for journalism and other content.

There needs to be a Platform and network effect, otherwise people will just clone/fork the project and not contribute anything, perhaps even compete with it. We are building this platform. Feel free to get in touch (greg at the domain qbix.com)

See qbix.com/token for how we plan to get it done. We already have the network effect and users!
