good lord. our budget is public; you can see we have some 30K in the bank, with $3500 income per month. We will not be wasting donors' money on a lawyer.


In this specific case it may not be worth it but if a large corporation were redistributing a hypothetically GPL-licensed version of zig without releasing source, then you would be doing your donors a disservice by not seeking retribution to the foundation.


I'm a Zig donor and I disagree. I'm happy that my donations are funding development instead of lawsuits.


My point is that by funding certain lawsuits, their ROI could result in funding an order of magnitude more development
