Maybe going from community effort to company driven isn't so great after all. people say that Open source projects need to do that to stay alive or be worth while. Though all that has been happening with companies lately points to a different conclusion.

It seems that every time a group says a project needs to be company driven, they always end up at the top of that company reaping in the profits.

It does seem that way sometimes, though mostly I was talking about stupid people online who claim to be open-source enthusiasts but still say that.
