If the project has a sane license, then you are contributing to the commons in perpetuity (almost, let's not get too finicky), so regardless of the fortunes of the company (who are most likely doing the majority share of the development work - why shouldn't they have a good bottom line?), the code will be Free. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2005: Canberra, Australia http://linux.conf.au/ "If you want to start a debate on a subject, however, all that seems to be necessary is to involve perennial target Richard Gooch." - LWN -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
