I talked to #gentoo-dev tonight about this. I can't say I am particularly
pleased or satisfied with the results.
Gentoo has a couple hundred people working on it, but Gentoo Technologies,
Inc. is wholly owned by Dan Robbins. Wholly owned, as in, it's a
for-profit corporation. It's not making any money, but there are plans
for it to be at some point. Did I mention that he's the only employee?
There has been talk about making Gentoo Technologies, Inc. a non-profit,
but Dan Robbins tonight carefully avoided saying he was interested in that
kind of thing. In fact, what he did say indicated that it shouldn't be a
big deal given that it's not really that much money anyway. However, all
of Gentoo's code is owned by a company with exactly one employee and
owner. Given the vague and non-committal aspect of the conversation, I
have my concerns.
