And, clearly, people HAVE been working on various Go plugins, for free, for whatever reason. The next, and a totally separate question, is about the stability and completeness of those plugins. I think, under Apache, the chances are much bigger that people will not work on their own, so that the chance of continued development is much larger than in the past. Gj
