I wonder what this means.
I have benefited a lot from R, Rstudio.
But what impact does this have? Are there legal remedies now available to users if they feel Rstudio has strayed from the charter?
fwiw, I have the impression that the team there is quite civic minded, so this is really a question about the law, and not some sort of implication about their motivation.
- larrydag 7y agoMy belief is that instead of being shareholder focus that RStudio, Inc. is going to be customer and end-user focused. I'm not sure how this is held accountable. I suppose in the near term it would be a public relations form of accountability. I suppose in the future there could be some other forms of accountability such as licensure of software. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit_corporation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit_corporation
- omarhaneef 7y agoDon't all entities-- public benefit corporations or otherwise -- experience "public relations form of accountability"?
- larrydag 7y agoYes of course. Yet usually it's focused on their product or service and profitability. I'm guessing since a public benefit corporation would have a different focus that is more end-user facing.
