TDF's mission surely also includes catering for 'business' users. Our ability to perform that will grow over time (remember, we're starting this organisation from scratch) - and encouraging people who can afford it to get paid support from one of our member companies helps the project a lot. Now, for your notion that you don't have a say - in fact you have, as a member of the project, you can collectively influence many more things than there was ever possible at OOo - including how money is spent in the future. Please *do* feel encouraged to apply for membership - if you want to affect change, that's the best advice I can give.
