I do work for a corporate but my current involvement with update sending bug reports, patched and sharing ideas are tree things that the GPL doesn't demand. Those are things I do for "free".At this point it doesn't matter if my "corporate" is a good or bad citizen. The point is that I am "somewhat" active in the community and even if you would never see any system deployed you already a "win" something by being open yourself. So am i a free-rider or not? nobody knows Greetings -- upstart-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel
