Why wait? Why ask people to trust that the free work they do for you will eventually be open source in the future?

- nathannaveen 11mo agoTruthfully, there isn't any way to prove that we are going to OSS, but we don't want to throw out a half assed product. I agree, this isn't an ideal scenario, but we want to release our product when we have a working version. We love open source, and have been working on open source for years now. https://github.com/nathannaveen https://github.com/nathannaveen. Additionally, we have already open sourced a security tool that we were building before hand https://github.com/bomfather/minefield https://github.com/bomfather/minefield.
- akerl_ 11mo agoWell, it seems you can either throw out a half-assed product, or wait a while and throw away your half-assed product? The odds that you're going to get free work based on a promise of future open source seems low.
