Totally going to check this out. I've been rooting for FreeCAD but I think it's just going to be consumed by Ondsel in the next few years.
Does CADmium suffer from a topological naming problem like FreeCAD?

Well this article talks about revisiting venture capital in the future. Which pretty much means the end of cadmium at that point haha
Extremely unlikely. Also, no such plans :)
Also, "no plans" doesn't really mean much. "I guarantee" is a lot more meaningful.
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?
