It’s nice to see a real example of a company doing the right thing.

Doesn’t happen all that often.


EDIT: I stand corrected. This is not all that great. Not terrible, yet, but the the path is no longer clear.

    Fair enough, actually. I guess open source projects should only really be incorporated in charitable/social enterprise/community interest types of companies.

      Not necessarily. The open source model does not prevent you from profiting of open source code, nor is it intended to. In fact, the previously used Apache 2 license permits you to do just that. The point of the CLA is not to being able to make a profit, the point is to get an advantage over everyone else by adding an expection that benefits only one party.
