If you do not see the distinction between getting a job with an
external entity paying people to work on debian, and having ones fellow
developers in an a position to determine whether one gets money or not,
then I don't know how to explain it.
Already one could find reluctance in opposing aj or Ted or
Raphael on technical issues, even one feels it might not be in the best
interest of the project, since in the future one could be in need of
the money that could be steered ones way by the dunc tank powers that
be.
The injection of an employer-employee relationship in Debian is
not something I think is in the best interest of the project.
