Because without a legal structure how can you collect money? how can indivirduals or small companies can get an impact? We do not have a large company (like firefox or google for python and js) or research group like (VPR that put large amount of money into etoys): we have small SMEs and research groups and the ideas is that if many SMEs and research groups put money on the table we can move much faster and do not rely on smart engineers ***free time***. Remember it again - I do not know what is the vision/goals of the other smalltalk distributions, but the one of Pharo is simple: we want to give a chance to an open-source smalltalk to evolve and let people make a living with their software.
