As long as OVI store is what it is - a mere joke - commercial contributions will get stuck in the middle of Nowherekiszthan.

Sio2 just (eventually) did what everybody would do to get public notice: Shout as loud as they can. Though not following the rules here on maemo (which is bad but show'em the yellow card and on with the game) isn't this yet again proof that the environment around the N900 itself is not fully grown ?

Just my 2 cents...
You do bring up some interesting points, even if it they are only two coppers worth B-)

Seriously though, I'm not trying to hang the SiO2 developer before he is proven guilty. I really do think he should be given the benefit of the doubt. This could be a symptom of something bigger though, such as the clash between the Linux and Windows worlds.

In Linux free means "use and share", non-free means "use but don't share", and commercial means "use but pay up". Nobody cares if SIO2 depends on financial returns to continue development, they only care that they are upfront about it.
