You start an open-source project, it gets some nice traction, a company start using your code in production, but they want to make sure you spend your time working on the project. They hire you to work full time on it.
It must be difficult in this situation to keep the needs of other users in mind, if one user in particular is paying you to maintain the project. How does this usually pan out?
