How does the company behind this tool make money?


It's a good question, also brought up in a Mastodon thread that Simon Willison linked to and excerpted here: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Sep/8/uv-under-discussion-on-...

"I'm currently inclined to agree with Armin and Hynek: while the risk of corporate capture for a crucial aspect of the Python packaging and onboarding ecosystem is a legitimate concern, the amount of progress that has been made here in a relatively short time combined with the open license and quality of the underlying code keeps me optimistic that uv will be a net positive for Python overall." — Simon Willison
