To paraphrase John O'Nolan in his original Kickstarter video for Ghost, Ghost is designed for users, not to please investors or potential acquirers. You can hear the original here: https://ghost.org/features/ https://ghost.org/features/ starting around 2:05 in the video.
- vdaniuk 13y agoThat is absolutely irrelevant to the corruption claims of OP and doesnt answer my question.
- pingswept 13y agoBut I am OP. That's what I meant when I wrote corruption-- the idea that a nonprofit will be more user-focused since they can't be acquisition-focused, since they're not an acquisition target.
- vdaniuk 13y agoWell, ok then. In general user value and investor value are orthogonal to each other. In closed-source, proprietory, vendor locked-in products there is a conflict of interests between value for investors and value for users. I just don't see this conflict in open source software, it happens, but rarely.
