this is "do what we want and maybe we'll give you a cent or two".
they don't want to invest their money, i can understand that. they will
wait endlessly and there will always be a thing that "will turn D into
worthwhile project if somebody will do it." and if somebody will do it,
comms will find another reason. 'cause, you know, FOSS is the box where
comm can get free things. there is no reason to pay for free things.
it's always better to shout and to talk how doing what comm want will
turn D to "good project that worth investing". so "show me the money
first" i say.
