Perhaps this is a disadvantage to the DC company-owned open-source project model. They will make bad decisions based on potential profit.
I wanted to address this specifically. This is, in the abstract, a legitimate concern that comes up repeatedly about Netscape/Mozilla. Obviously that kind of model has some tremendous benefits, namely paid resources and clarity of vision. At the same time, though, there is the potential for abuse. As the person that made the decision, I can at least testify that no ulterior motives were behind it. Still, Zope is a community thing, and we here at DC need our heads bopped on a regular basis, lest we ever forget it. Consider our heads bopped. :^) --Paul

And this is why I like and trust DC. You realize your heads get bopped. :) As long as you do, even if you do continue to disagree with that weird Martijn Faassen guy, I have no big worries. As long as the community keeps learning (DC included), we're fine. And-now-back-to-our-whining-about-Perl-ly yours, Martijn
