OP RPGF is about to give OSI licensed projects a preference in the next round.

If you're about to build anything on Superchain and this decision forces you to open source your product, please reach out!

If you're a Badgeholder, I urge you to re-evaluate your position. This decision could harm the ecosystem and push developers to either find alternative ways to fund their projects while keeping a protective license (eg. BUSL) or simply leave Superchain for grants where an open source license isn't a requirement 🙏

Fellow badgeholder here, Optmism code is MIT license, Ethereum is open source and so are many EL/CL client. Building in public was always a challange, cost, time and resource, and the idea behind RPGF was fix this challange. 

OSS allows you to fork, tweak and enhance, it opens the door to innovation.

Learning and contributing. Optimist  ✨🔴_🔴✨

I believe we are talking about different things. just to build something, Optimism DAO has a grant program. Upfront $$ is possible.
RPGF was to fix the challenge i mentioned above depending on the projects Impact on superchain. Bigger impact == bigger reward.

Value created == value extracted through RPGF.

You're talking about OSS projects who raised private capital upfront and now are asking their ecosystem to build OSS pro bono upfront with the hope to get rewarded at some point. Do you think that's fair?
