I personnaly can see only benefit in having companies finding business
models around Sage, indeed as long as they do not tarnish Sage's
image. In any case the future of such companies will totally depend on
Sage becoming better; so there will be a natural incent for
contributing back to the community one way or the other.
Also, if some Sage dev manages to use his hard earned reputation to
make some money, that's all fine for me. After all, I am myself using
it to (tentatively) enhance my CV; that's not that different ...
Cheers,
Nicolas
