Hi, I represent PyPy project. We don't have personal connection to mozilla nor we're successful enough to pay engineers full time. Can you explain some of your accusations?


Throwing money at open source projects does not in any way inherently "corrupt" them. This false argument needs to end so we can more easily and more fully fund OSS development.


Most of these projects are not very big or successful yet. I have no idea what you're talking about.


This feels like hating on a music group once they find commercial success.


Exactly my point - "Commercial" success.


Open source does not and never has meant non-commercial. There are very successful open source companies making money both for profit and not for profit. Value added products and services around open source software is a good thing for OSS.


I have no idea what this is even supposed to mean.
