> Sorry, once a project crosses the line into venture capital “open source” takes on a different meaning. If people want to contribute that’s their prerogative. Personally, I’m not in the habit of giving away professional expertise for free to a for-profit business.
I like this distinction, but do myself contribute to my favorite / core projects I build on in other ways, even though they are VC funded. (eg. reporting issues like this on the tracker, answering questions in chat)
