For me, allowing as many people to use our libraries as possible. For the sake of the discussion, why? For me, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The advantage of getting more companies to use our libraries is that (maybe) they will contribute back, similar to what Apple does with LLVM. However, on the other side of the same coin, we are allowing the possibility that companies will *not* contribute back, and instead keep their improvements to themselves (to be clear, I am not implying malicious intent). -- Tyler Romeo 0x405D34A7C86B42DF
