I infer from the post that Rich Hickey still desires to spend the bulk of his time doing core development of Clojure. This is different from doing whatever it takes to make a living from Clojure. Is seems the only "business models" for open source development, for the love of it, are akin to historic patronage systems. The difference is that one can now have "crowd patronage" rather than court patronage. However that still depends on being both very lucky and very good. I hope Rich Hickey is the former, clojure speaks for itself on the latter.
