wait a sec, a bunch of researchers doing what they want is subsidized development? maybe in the states.
in europe a bunch of researchers doing what they want is just that. a bunch of researchers doing what they want.
and then comes a us company making money off of it.
"sorry dude, you're not a hobbyist, you don't count as free, because you have a day job, and get paid to do what you want." /facepalm
not to mention that most got developed FIRST, and then got funded after showing off their value proposition
- Locke1689 14y agoI have no idea what you're trying to say. I'm saying that major open source success only happen when a funded entity, e.g. a corporation or a research institution, pays for someone to develop that project full-time. In other words, successful projects have someone paying for full-time salaried programmers.
