Have you considered accepting money on certain terms and subsequently using that money to do improvements? A couple millions can get quite far in improving certain aspects of the software, like UX, documentation etc.

It seems to me that your response was seemingly the right moral thing to do. However, I can also see a lot of practical benefits of having a pile of cash to improve open software.

Yes, I did. But only if the terms are fine and moral. That never happened.

Thanks for taking the moral stance, even in the face of loosing access to millions of euros, much appreciated!
