Lynn,
Thanks for the feedback. :-)
I was hoping these proposals would generate more discussion than they
have. I'd really appreciate additional feedback from our project
members. I don't want to start affiliating with companies or create a
consultants list, if it's going to upset our project members.

Would you elaborate on this? How does it apply to the corporate
affiliation idea above?

Agreed. Licenses should be followed.

I'm not proposing certification by our project of consultants. I think a
list consultants willing to work on LEAF release/branch release would be
useful to our users. It may also help some of our project members bring
in some additional revenue.
