Drivers passing through San Francisco have a new roadside distraction to consider: billboards calling out businesses that don’t cough up for the open source code that they use.

The signs are the work of the Open Source Pledge – a group that launched earlier this month. It asks businesses that make use of open source code to pledge $2,000 per developer to support projects that develop the code. So far, 25 companies have signed up – but project co-founder Chad Whitacre wants bigger firms to pay their dues, too.

    The artwork they did for that billboard is sick

      Wish it have a small “designed in Gimp”, “designed in inkscape” or “designed in kitra” Watermark in the bottom right corner

      Does anyone know the actual designer behind them? I would be curious to know.
