Time is money. Meta is pledging the salaries of three individuals.

  But it is just for the nogil project. If suppose python foundation doesn't believe merit in GIL, they aren't getting any benefit out of the situation.

    Never the less, the OP is incorrect. Time is money. The fact HN doesn't seem to recognize this and downvoted the comment is mystifying. We all remember the anti-OSS 'Linux is only free if your time is free'.

      Because the whole point of the thread is "It creates a conflict of interest because money" which it doesn't. Time costs money, sure, but time is not equal to money. There are many differences. Otherwise where is my money from HN.

        Woah, are you kidding? I would have died to have people dedicated to OSS I worked on! Time is money. We get paid for our _time_ at the core of what we do as a profession. This should be plainly obvious. The alternative is Meta puts in no money to salaries and benefits for up to three individual's time on this project, or Meta puts in no money at all. Meta is paying, one way or another, for this project.

          > Meta is paying, one way or another, for this project. Did I deny this? To put it in extreme clear example, just said time for someone to punch you != time for someone to work for you, while money is same all across. I hope you don't disagree with it.
