@onepict @aral
To be clear, I was not suggesting Aral personally takes money from EU funding projects.
I think (and I re-read my post) I suggested folks moving to USA that start successful ventures are only adding to their nation increasing debt burden. Even when "successful", they collectively couldn't wipe out that debt burden.
I went on to suggest VC money isn't the only model.
I Agree the EU should fund Libre software (as an ideal) and Open software where there are no Libre alternatives.
