Just me or does sit well to monetize _mostly_ off the core benefits of an open source application?

Can't be easy to build a GUI on top, but I'm sure a 10% revenue to be redistributed to the hero behind jj would go a long way. Would also pay off.


There is nothing about neither the licensing of jj or the spirit of open source that stigmatizes this.


Nothing against, I agree.


The hero behind jj is employed by Google afaik, so we're good.


10% revenue to google?


While the primary maintainer is a Google employee, the majority of commits and committers are not. It's decidedly not a Google project.


I mean the Google CLA kind of says otherwise.


Fair point, I thought it had been eliminated, but apparently that is pending the adoption of the project by a foundation such as Apache or the Linux foundation.
