Nextide announces nexPro Portal and services

No, he doesn't have to explain anything and nobody fell victim to money.
"Open source" doesn't mean nobody should be able to make any money ever.
Open source is simply a way of collaborating on something, not an ethical anti-commercial statement or whatever.
Blaine contributes to the open source community as an open source developer. If his other work is related to Geeklog, then it is not a problem for the rest of us. The stuff he makes in the open source project is still open source.

I'm aware of the fact that Blaine did a lot for the GL community, and I appreciate that very, very much. I also do not want to stop the succes of his commercial activities, but that doesn't mean it's OK to promote these commercial projects in a featured story on the homepage of Geeklog.net.

Of course it's fine to mention it, of put a banner somewhere, but this story is only written to promote nexPro, and makes a commercial site of Geeklog.net.

I guess that about 25% of the members have commercial activities, so you think it's OK if they all start writing stories to promote their commercial activities on the homepage of Geeklog?

Actually, I think it can only provide a boost to GL in general. I'm surprised that you can't see that.
