I don't suppose you've committed to donating at least a small portion of your profits to the Ghost open source project? Ghost is released under the MIT License

Ghost is released under the MIT License so, obviously, you don't have to, but I (personally) wouldn't "feel right" pointing any potential customers your way without something along those lines. I'd just send them straight to https://ghost.org https://ghost.org (who are hiring folks to work on Ghost).
- sudhirj 6y agoAs soon as I get ramen profitable, yes, I'd like to. Will make a public commitment once I have enough customers to cover rent. If I cross $250K a month I think I can commit to something like 15% voluntary royalties. And I'm happy to hire engineers and contribute to Ghost when we're not in the middle of support tickets. EDIT: I mean $250K a year.

I'm trying to make good software accessible to people who couldn't use it otherwise. The Fortune 500 will still use the official Ghost Pro offering, I don't have any doubts about that.
