Disclaimer: I know the foundation of Rome was largely written by Sebastian. This question still applies to Rome though, but more so to “open source companies” in general.
How many of these people are going to receive an employment opportunity from this company? How many will receive equity?
I suppose the same questions can be asked if any big project, like React, though that had FB’s backing from the get-go.
I understand that OSS needs funding from somewhere, and I am incredibly optimistic about Rome, but I’d think it a bit disheartening to be surprised by this announcement as a contributor.
