But what if it's a hobby project with people across the planet, earning only $50 (random value) a month? It's probably not worth digging into the legal stuff, but it's still fair to share with the other team members..
While, in my eyes, for Itch it would be just paying out different people. I don't think it adds much to the legal stuff they have to get into.
People that want to handle it internally still can.
