Who is David Kinne and what did he do?
what a dirtbag
As usual, the unresolved underlying issue is, how to get funding for FLOSS projects. Entitled cheapskates are nothing new; a generic solution to the issue, would be something new.
lol; Thanks Dave Kinne! /s
Note: This is from August. So it's been a while since then.
So they never got contribution from anyone else or is Apache not really copyleft?
Apache isn't copyleft, not sure why you thought it was
It's always been closed to contributions.
