In Europe you can be 49 years old and still doing what you love. How, because I bailed from the US 10 years ago!

This product is also not "revolutionary" in any way, as Austin Meyer hypes. NASA developed this technology over a decade ago during both the AGATE and SATS research programs.

Given the low level of software quality and the abundance of software defects in the X-Plane product,no one should ever use this Autopilot in the absence of an FAA / EASA certification approval. A Certification process which is first and foremost based on the establishment of a safety culture of "life critical" product development which Laminar Research does not currently practice, and which is currently "ad-hock". Safety critical systems must never be developed with the "worse is better" mentality.

The US government and corporations have sold you out as a US CITIZEN. See the proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFEgFajGU&;

The idea is to empower worldwide collaborative software development.

People get too hung up on what other employees are being paid, which is used as the benchmark for the valuation of their contribution to the project.

This tension blows projects apart, and explains why there are no prior GPL based business models (either the code is contributed gratis by individual contributors, or a non GPL based corporation releases code in support of their primary revenue stream in the sale of services, consulting, ustome development, sale of hardware).

By focusing on reasonable expenses, this levels the global playing field, and disables the compensation friction.

In the end, it is the consumer which must feel satisfied, that they are getting value for money spent. And it should therefore be left to the consumer to decide which persons to award higher compensation in a bonus.

GNU Aerospace our GPL rules for a for-profit business.
