I honestly would rather see a BSD get 21m in funding versus another database startup that won't exist in 4 years.

- romange 4y agoIt does not have to be instead of our startup, really.
- kakwa_ 4y agoHonestly, I don't think giving 21m to DragonflyBSD would be a good idea, not sure how the project could adapt back to a shoestring budget after the money runs out. I would not be against giving them a few 100Ks so that they could get one or two full time developers however. (joke (but also food for thoughts): alternatively, just "safe" invest the 21M. At 3% interest rate, that 630k per year, enough for ~2 to 10 developers depending on the geo. An OSS project can do a lot of things with this kind of budget).
