Well.. I think they already choose and from my point of view they are free to do it as they like.. I think they are close enough to the project to know what they do.. And I think it is a good idea to have some income to provide that service.. Taking another mail from today.. People mostly take it for grant and just take qgis without contributing something.. While I can (currently) live with that sourcepole is more than welcome to make their income.. With their contributions to the project it's just fair to leave it as it is.. When I read permits announcement the first time I knew what was going to happen.. And it happened ;-) So I wish sourcepole a lot if success with that project and will just keep on reading this thread ;-)
