,----[ Quote ]
| There are two approaches that seem to be dominant in software
| development:
| 1) Get outside financial support (investment)
| 2) Close off your project and only distribute the binaries to those who
| are willing to pay
|
| I believe that for 99.99% of us with open source projects both of these
| are paths are folly. Pursuing either will just end up in frustration,
| stagnation, or loss of control of your own project.
