Hi, Most of the emails I write in regarding fsf I end up saying the wrong things and get flamed - here's another such letter ;)
I have a bit of a problem. I work on many projects, however one of them is fairly big, and would benefit linux a lot. Unfortunately I have university and work etc to worry about, and development would be slow. On a whim, I mentioned the project to some VC's, and it turns out they love it, and are willing to plow serious amounts of money, and give me a team of developers, etc. Being a uni student, I'm obviously very pleased and excited, but if I did this I would have to make it closed source, and indeed actively protect it.
Again, the problem is that it would benefit (IMHO) linux a lot, but on the other hand, I wouldn't be able to develop it as much, and plus I have a chance to pay off my university fees, and actually run my own business, etc.
Sincerly,
JohnFlux
