The project is open to everybody adhering to the GPL.  If you post bug
reports or even send in patches, the whole community profits from it,
not just your institution.  Plus, your participation is open and
obvious (it's not that you're sending work-related mail from a gmail
account, your mail account clearly shows where you're coming from,
everybody can look up lanl.gov in a browser).
Commercial support usually means some sort of off-list hand-holding
and maybe internally maintained forks.  That is what I don't want to
get my hands involved in when it comes to military or nuclear use, and
neither does Mike#1.

Note that I signed that previous message in a way that clearly
indicates I was speaking as the CEO of my company, and not as the X2Go
Project/Community Leader.

In the same sense, the statement above is my personal take on the
matter, I am not speaking for the project as a whole.  Others may
choose to reply to you, or ignore you, that is up to them.

In case this becomes an issue for other X2Go members, I would request
a poll before going "ex cathera" on the matter.

- -Stefan,
again NOT speaking for the project, only "pro se" (and maybe Mike#1 ;-)).
