GitHub Sponsors has now driven $100M in funding for open source.
The post notes that large partners such as Shopify and Mercedes-Benz contribute about 40% of sponsorship funding, while thousands of individual sponsors provide the rest.
This is presented as a milestone for the open source funding model rather than a single product announcement.
