I was just curious given that ProseMirror is used a lot and doesn't seem that well supported financially.

> We are all constantly building products on other products, given a license that allows for that, without contributing work or money to the products.

This type of attitude is pretty harmful for open source. Folks (especially companies) should support their key dependencies where they can.

I don't think that is true but in any case: Honoring the license, which we are usually we particular around here, has to be enough. The license is up to the licenser. white knighting it on a arbitrary per case basis seems like really bad practice.

Whoa, can you please make your substantive points without breaking the site guidelines? You broke these:

"Converse curiously; don't cross-examine."

"Assume good faith."

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to those rules, we'd be grateful. I took a quick look at your previous comments and didn't see any pattern of guideline breakage (thank you!), so this should be easy to fix.
