I am sorry, but I have seen projects going down too often once VC capital got involved to be positive about it.

VC capital is just one indicator. Maybe you can answer:

Do you require a CLA or copyright assignment? I don't see it on the GitHub page but then again other projects (like MongoDB) have hidden theirs pretty well.

How many of the contributors are directly payed for their contributions?

In, my opinion it's good for ambitious projects to have a stable financial foundation. What negative things one project does because of venture capital does not mean another will.

There's no CLA. Dioxus is MIT/Apache-2 licensed.

I unfortunately feel like you're asking this in bad faith. Our team is very small, we're very lean, and we have funding sources that aren't just venture. We also have a very active community and people are building new libraries and becoming dioxus contributors every day.

I am sorry if this came across the wrong way. I am not trying to upset you with these questions.

If you say your team is small I understand that it is not the majority of contributors that are on your payroll and that is good enough for me to see Dioxus as a real community project.

Thanks for your answers.

Complexity can be almost as effective a moat as a CLA. If they went closed I doubt anyone would start an effective fork.
