Hi, I think this is getting philosophical and off-topic...

Sure I have, and like I said I'm not criticizing that in any way.
if someone offers you $$ to fix a bug, that is no different. Whether the bug gets committed or not, has nothing to do with the $$, it simply follows the ASF process.
What George is suggesting that no money would be paid unless a patch is committed, so it's not just about the ASF process. We all agree (I think) that the patch review process will be followed as usual, and we also all trust each other to have the good of the project and the ASF in mind. None of these are the point.
no, but we all live in a monetary world, so unless we are trust fund babies, money has to come from somewhere. if you don't like to call that funding, fine, but its money, used for a purpose, in your case, pay for your time and your equipment that allows you to work on ASF projects :)
That's a very abstract economic notion, under which indeed everything is paid for, including things like biological cell division, the gulf stream in the ocean, etc. I bought my computer with money from my current job, which has never had anything to do with the ASF. I use it to do ASF work on my free time, etc. If you think that's the same as someone paying me for a commit only after I make the commit (and if you think the latter doesn't skew someone's priorities), we're living in a different world, but that's OK ;) Yoav --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
