Dear Oberon Core:

I think that discussions about the "centre" are moot. People do what they
do because they need to. Take OMS as an example. They created BB because
they needed a tool for their commercial developments. They hoped that the
tool itself would become a successful product. When this vision flopped,
they adjusted their position by releasing the source (to their credit!).
Recently they adjusted their position again, what sparked this discussion.
In each case OMS were driven by their own needs, which I think is the
right attitude.

Thus, I am asking why you are doing what you are doing. I would like to
know. Once I know, I can only do one think: accept. Just like I accepted
the OMS decisions at various stages of BB development.

Lets's be realistic. My desire is to piggyback on someone's hard work.
This someone is you. It will be counterproductive to try becoming a
backseat driver. You are the drivers of your own work, and I want to
benefit from it just like I benefited from the OMS work.

I am submitting the above to the community to consider whether it is not
the right attitude.

Thank you,
Wojtek "I only want to be the user"
