Hi
I'm not at against the Non Profit accepting doncations. As for business: I think that the licensing terms of the GNU General Public License are enough to keep businesses in line. For one thing, if a business does not comply, they will be shunned by the developer community and receive some nasty press. The great thing is that you have several companies with the same core product. This means that they have to be sure to offer superior service and keep up good relations with the community instead of resting on their Intellectual Property laurels.
Cheers Jason

Yes and I agree with that to a degree. I think we need to see some
companys supporting ReactOS but I also want to see the Foundation up
and running. Having support from buiness is a good thing but not at
the
expense of a Non-Profit organization dedicated to the idea of
ReactOS.
A For-Profit company exist for one goal and thats to make money.
Even
if Jason company is 100% owned by him today, 5 years down the road
it
might be owned by a large number of others that dont give a flip
about
ReactOS but only the bottom line. Thats find as long as the rules
are
played by with the GPL/LGPL. But I want to see us move forward on
both.
I want companys to adopt ReactOS and ReactOS developers to be free
to
make money off of thier work.
Thanks
Steven
