Well indeed. Ory &amp; Eric &amp; Juliana are co-founders of Ushahidi.<br><br>I&#39;m not implying that OFSS advovates should be developers. There are many ways to contribute to FOSS (documentation, funding, etc). I&#39;m saying that there is a large number of FOSS advocates that developers here. Ergo there should be a vibrant FOSS ecosystem. I&#39;ve not said that they have to release anything to the community. I&#39;m just asking why they don&#39;t<br>

Rad, excuse me for asking: but what is your point exactly regarding preaching wine vs. drinking water? Are you implying that FOSS advocates also have to be FOSS developers? That&#39;s the impression I get from your questions, correct me if I&#39;m wrong. Or are you saying that those advocating FOSS have to release their modifications back to the community?<br>
