Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they're going to be asking a flat fee "$5-20" for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says "that's between you and your God".

Project will remain AGPL and thus can be forked at any time. FUTO maintains the trademark of Immich name and logos.

Will they still accept code from pull requests from outside their organisation?

That’s answered in the video. Nothing is changing. Yes, they still accept contributions.

OK cool, I missed that bit. I've found it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwz2iZwYpgg&t=1960s

Will any devs who spend a lot of time contributing get anything for their work? E.g. if I was providing time and code for a product then had to pay to use it that might seem a bit mean.

That’s the way it’s worked since day 1.

It wasn't a commercially backed product since day 1. This is more of a general question I guess.. how does this work for open source projects like Immich when it's commercially backed where there are some developers paid to work on it, but other developers contributing of their own accord. Would they receive some sort of benefit for having worked on it. E.g. not have to pay for using the product they've worked on perhaps if they meet a threshold of having contributed enough to it? I just wonder how that tends to work for open source projects which are also commercial in nature.

I have never seen contributors get anything for open source contributions.

In larger, more established projects, they explicitly make you sign an agreement that your contributions are theirs for free (in the form of a github bot that tells you this when you open a PR). Sometimes you get as much as being mentioned in a readme or changelog, but that's pretty much it.

I'm sure there may be some examples of the opposite, I just.. Wouldn't hold my breath for it in general.

Thanks, was just curious as to what tends to happen.
