One more question from a lady at the airport listening g to me talk about d3 and some back story:
You've had the opportunity to monetize d3 in the beginning, yet didn't (paid model). When it garnered reputation, you didn't implement freemium or other cost-free models. (Ads, consulting, enterprise, etc)
At all stages you didn't monetize even when it'd be deemed fine. Why?

I don't know why, but as a student developer I really appreciate not bloating it with ads or freemium or whatever. I am of the opinion that scientific tools are best developed non-profit and open-source.
