That's a great question and I have some thoughts as an outsider.

It's pretty much impossible to reflect/match the value received over time. Think about a SAAS that charges 5$ per month, even though the time it saves you is months, if not years.

It's also impossible to accurately know what the value received over time is.

The best we can all do is support OSS in a way in which we are comfortable, whether that is more or less than the objective received value.
