Re: Ideas for kicad

 

I see no scenario under which KiCad will "loose its open source status".
Also, there are legal ways in getting money from the community without 
risking to forget the focus of freedoms and openness.
For example there could be a legally registered, democratically 
driven, non-profit association having clearly detailed in its Statuses 
its role in fostering the growth of KiCad and its focus on keeping the 
freedom aspects of the project alive.
Again the Drupal project is a very good example of all of this:

Also interesting their Statuses
