- marcus0x62 3y agoMaybe the owner thinks Genera will become more valuable in the future? My point is I don't see any possibility of that actually happening. I'd imagine there is some revenue for maintenance/bug fixes of existing installations (David Schmidt has apparently been running the hardware maintenance/support side of things for quite some time,) but I don't see how the software does anything other than get less valuable commercially with every passing year.

It’s not like he’s sitting on a goldmine, he’s hoarding something of immense historical value because it’s slightly more beneficial for him to do so than it would be to share it. I can’t imagine steering your legacy from being immortalized as an MIT AI researcher to… that.
