As a 501(c)(3), we're specifically disallowed from competing with commercial organizations. But even within the ASF and other open source projects, the ASF is simply providing a home for communities to organize, to grow, to construct software for the public. At its most base level, the Foundation doesn't care what the project does, how "successful" it is (by whatever metric), or if ten of its communities all produce software to do the same thing. Each community might have a different thought, a different approach, or even something as minor as a different view on release cycles. All communities are welcome. Cheers, -g
