Re: [ros-general] $$$ Bountys on ReactOS development - 0.2 Relase

[Jason Filby]

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
