I don't think there is a silver bullet. But I do think we can do better than we are today supporting the sustainability of Open Source projects. The OSMF is an attempt to do just that.

Hi, I realise I'm replying to a comment from over a week ago, but I happened across this and now I'm here.

I don't think you got what I intended with my comment. You may have missed the "they think" in the sentence you quoted, it was a bit dense. In any case, it sounds like you agree with me, if not what my comment conveyed. I agree with you.

(I also think my bullet metaphors might have touched and I merged 'bulletproof contract' with 'silver bullet'.)

Ahh, in that case, I think we are in "violent agreement". :)
