Maybe this applies to big projects, but I fail to see how it applies to LyX. Also, there are surely different interests amongst coders. Some developers might have ambitions to code on a professional basis and thus be "hired", ideally for their pet projects. I certainly don't. I get the money to pay my rent otherwise, so I am not interested in any commercial programming. Jürgen
