Open source software can be used by anyone, even commercially, so long as the terms of the license are followed. There is a long history of healthy associations between open source projects and companies. It's certainly OK in general, and that particular project looks fine to me. A little bit of advertising for a related software product is fine.
If you find that the commercial version is violating the license of source code that you contributed, then the first step might be to discuss it with the project owner yourself. It does not impact our hosting of the project. Thanks, jason! On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 7:07 AM, mooredan <[email protected]> wrote: > I am a member of the s3fs project.
