@jeroenJeroen Massar @mxk that's the hope, at least. Part of the experiment is to see if the market will actually put its money where its mouth is in terms of valuing openness in security.

Unfortunately the hardware "kettles" don't come cheap, so next steps always have to strike a balance between progress on openness, and organic, high quality sources of money (such as actual customer demand) that are free of conflicts of interest.

I suspect it will be a very slow process to grow the market for projects like this, especially given the shakiness of the economy these days and the giant sucking sound that is AI taking all the money out any non-AI centered projects.
