I would like any such companies to step forward, because the idea here for Bacula is not to make money, but to cover out of pocket costs of development. If others can make some money and at the same time help the project, so be it. I have no problem with people or organizations around Bacula earning their living, but I don't envision Bacula moving toward a MySQL type structure. Nothing is totally out of the question as I am open to discussion, but I just cannot see it for Bacula. -- Best regards, Kern ("> /\ V_V ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
