Just sitting here waiting on the peeps who know more about stuff to chime in on this, cause it sounds awesome. But I've been burned before so I'm hesitant
Seems solid.
It doesn't change a ton, but the point was basically them putting their money where their mouth is and saying "now we can't sell out like everything else."
If you liked them before, this is great. It means google or whoever literally can't buy them out, it's not about the money. If you were iffy already because they're not FOSS or whatever other reason, this doesn't change that, either, for better or worse
Maybe the founders can't sell out anymore, but looking at what Raspberrypi just did the company can still end up partially on the stock market.
Wait, what happened with Raspberry Pi?
