I appreciate the sentiment. But we both know that plans change. Especially in the software world and even more so in the startup business.

Also, "no plans" doesn't really mean much. "I guarantee" is a lot more meaningful.

Well, I could go on and on about this, but consuming FreeCAD is not just unrealistic, it's undesirable.

The best a startup company can do is work in quick iterations: throw things at the proverbial wall to see what sticks, then scale up development accordingly. "Consuming FreeCAD" is the opposite of that. It's how you paint yourself into a corner and die a horrible death.

A much healthier approach is to build a great working relationship with the community: lead the way in a few areas where you have great expertise and encourage development in other areas. It has worked nicely so far.

So no, sorry, I don't see Ondsel consuming FreeCAD over the next few years (or ever). But we can agree to get back to this conversation in, oh, 5 years time would be enough?
