Since you're purporting to know more about the given situation than the person who actually created "the situation" I think a better question would be: Why are *you* not taking advantage of the situation and making a wishlist of a board yourself ? The hardware is open source with a HUGE open source software backing. Nothing stopping you. I do not purport to know Gerald at all, but I can say that I do know a couple very good Engineers, who work at about the same level as Gerald. One of which is very smart, smart enough to have worked for Lockheed back around the time I guess Gerald was doing networking "stuff" ( sorry Gerald, peeked at linkdin ). Who looked at the schematics for the beaglebone black, and decided against making a clone. My point here anyway, is that somehow I doubt you know something Gerald doesn't. Engineers of this caliber aren't stupid. Also, monetary gain is not what motivates every_single_person on the planet. Or maybe to a point it does, and at which point some of us do not care if we make more. Some of us care more about other aspects of life. Such as not sitting in front of a computer for hours on end each day. Trying to figure out how to fit the next latest greatest <whatever> into a peanut shell. Or sitting in a meeting trying to tell some pencil neck why something they think is a good idea won't work. So fly, be free, go make a name brand for yourself. That millions in currency is waiting for you . . .
