Its not *just* about the money. But the fact that we have have a dev on the ASSP going to me more into push,upgrading,etc this peace of code over the rest. And understandably so "his" peace of code bring him in **his** money.
See now thats another thing it's not the like money is going to the whole dev team. It's going to 1 person. So it's not like your helping fund ASSP your help fund Thomas Eckardt. well to be honest no one has said much of anything about where and what the money goes too. Whos to say after 100 "users" sign up for this (thats a total of $47,497). That he "Thomas Eckardt" doesn't just decide to stop supporting/running/etc the Global PenaltyBox ? Then what ? You can NOT a dev thats doing both closed source & open source in the same project. It has never worked out. In the end the either the project fails or it forks. Either way there it's not pretty. -- Chris L.
