[asterisk-users] Ever donate Software to Digium? If you did your a fool.

[George Gardiner]

With respect, I don't think you understand the dynamics of growing a 
business. 

If we are all to benefit from the continued development of Asterisk then 
it is in our own best interests for Digium to succeed, because their 
success is for our benefit.  Your posting is unfortunate as it 
disregards the considerable effort, cost and time put into Asterisk by 
Mark and Digium.  By the way, I have no relation with Digium other than 
to derive a considerable benefit from open source software developed by 
Mark/Digium and a lot of other programmers, for which I am extremely 
grateful.

Digium is not being given a whole load of money - the investors will 
want a slice of the company and the future profits.  That's how VC 
funding works.
