I don't understand this concern about money. After all money is just the
exchange unit used in our world to get work done.
The free software communities has been using it at a lot, probably I
should even wrote the free software communities is using it as much as
it can. The FSF is using it to support and develop its software, Linux
is largely supported that way, and Squeak has been largely developed
with money.
So really I don't see the concern about money injected by SqF to support
Squeak improvement. This is really what is needed.
Looks like odd concerns.
