[asterisk-users] Ever donate Software to Digium? If you did your a fool.
If you gave software to Digium then you helped Mark become very rich. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=2290152

Well god forbid Mark should get some form of compensation for creating the product that everyone on this list benefits from. I mean, a world in which people get something in return for the hard work they put into something? Absurd! Flame-bait... Why stir the pot? No one's a fool for giving code to Digium. And if I were you, I'd go look up how VC works. It's not like Matrix just wrote Mark a cheque for $13M. They gave it to the company... Mark makes more money, sure. But he's certainly not getting thirteen mill in his pocket.

With respect, I don't think you understand the dynamics of growing a business. If we are all to benefit from the continued development of Asterisk then it is in our own best interests for Digium to succeed, because their success is for our benefit. Your posting is unfortunate as it disregards the considerable effort, cost and time put into Asterisk by Mark and Digium. By the way, I have no relation with Digium other than to derive a considerable benefit from open source software developed by Mark/Digium and a lot of other programmers, for which I am extremely grateful. Digium is not being given a whole load of money - the investors will want a slice of the company and the future profits. That's how VC funding works.

Lol, your definition of rich and mine are obviously very different. $13m I'd call that working capital. He hasn't sold the company, he hasn't walk away to retire in Anguilla. Personally I'm very thankful for the work put in by Digium, it allows me to run a pabx in my home office with functionality I wouldn't otherwise be able to get from Cisco etc. Cheers, Dean> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users- > bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Randall H. > Sent: Wednesday, 9 August 2006 1:11 AM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: [asterisk-users] Ever donate Software to Digium?

I'll feed the Troll!!! Mark deserves this, he has given us, all of us, a way to make and/or save money. Kudos to him and the staff at Digium. I, for one feel Mark owes me nothing but I still feel like I owe him and the project much of my uncompleted work. Way to GO!! Mark. May the extra cash available allow you to grow Digium into what ONLY you can dream!!!!

He gave us something that makes us a lot of money. IMOH he has changed the VOIP world. Lots of good cheap companies out there that only exist because of Mark. I have paid people on the developers list to create functionality that I needed and had him submit it to the bug tracker. Why should I be selfish ? Lots of others gave to me. Should I not give in return ? It's called being selfish sir. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randall H." <voipviews@gmail.com> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 1:11 AM Subject: [asterisk-users] Ever donate Software to Digium?
