No, normal OSS whose existence isn't tied to VC mostly. It's not like a hard/fast rule, just a heuristic.

- riku_iki 3y agoThere are very few good quality, stable, active OSS projects which is not fed by VC/corps money. In this case (UI for rust) there is no much choice.
- fabrice_d 3y agoFunding by VC and funding by corps sponsors are 2 very different things. Check how linux desktop projects such as Gnome & KDE kept the lights on for >20 years without VC funding.
- riku_iki 3y ago> Funding by VC and funding by corps sponsors are 2 very different things Ok, if you find corp which will give you funding for your project without any expectations, then it is a win. But I am not sure how often this happens.
- fabrice_d 3y agoThere are expectations of course, but the ones from a corp will be different from a VC. Typically the corp will expect you to build something they need and can use, a VC will only want financial return on investment.
