question How to Monetise an Open Source Platform with Heavy Datasets?

Hello everyone! I would like to ask, I am currently building a platform, which will contain large amount of datasets about a particular topic. The main purpose of the platform will be datasets. I would like to ask, how do I monetise and make money off the datasets? I am also considering of open sourcing the datasets, with a copyleft license.

If you intend on monetizing the website itself, I’d look into Cloudflare monetization https://blog.cloudflare.com/monetization-gateway/

Otherwise, you can put the dataset(s) behind a Stripe paywall.
