Exactly. As a former founder who dealt with hospitalization and thousands of dollars a year in medical bills on the sh!t insurance startups can afford, I too would rather have 500K now than 50M later. There's also a good chance I could

I actually think things are much safer nowadays with cell phones and satellite communicators, and the wealth of information on the internet about what parts of certain countries are safe. You can even message random people who actually live

There's a really easy way around this, and that is to offer high salaries to the authors to join the company and reimplement their work. For researchers, in all honestly that is a very, very good reason to go GPL. If someone wants to p
