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 ) run this idea up the chain? :D
