Just this morning I dropped just a smidgen of couch's coolness on my "cloud computing" professor and he was definitely impressed, but of course this is the first thing he came back to me with. Damn... > I'm sure we'd even pay for commercial licensing if > that were available. Faster Damien! :-) Thank goodness for Apache. I'm pretty confident this isn't in couch's future, but even still, why go down that route? As an open source project, a concrete bounty would likely be a much faster way to spur a feature you're willing to pay for.
