Since then, I've had the chance to engage in many insightful discussions about Open Source funding and licensing. In the meantime we have officially launched the pledge, and almost simultaneously WordPress entered a crisis.
However I want to talk a bit about some pretty significant difference between David's opinions on Open Source funding (on which these posts appear to be based): the money element.
[...] it's tempting to cash in on goodwill earned. [...] It's a cliché, but once you've sold out, the goodwill might well be spent for good.
[...] part of the reason much of open source is so good, and often so superior to closed-source commercial projects, is the natural boundary of constraints.
