Around the time of the Nonprofit Technology Network ’s 2008 NTC conference, an even brighter light bulb went on. A few years ago, we had just a handful of pioneering platforms in microphilanthropy.

Just threatening to sue, threatening to get license fees (which, for some open source projects would be a major problem) is enough to make people doubt the future of open source.
