Not > only a question of loving OCaml. If I were the only one (or one of three) to join the Consortium, paying a not insignificant fee, and if INRIA decided to shut down OCaml shortly after due to lack of financial support, I'd have lost both my money and support for OCaml. Sometimes I hate game theory... ;) But a realistic scenario would probably be: Xavier and Daniel (to INRIA): We know you have shut down project Cristal, but we'd like to continue work on OCaml and CamlP4. What do you think? INRIA: Hm, is five Euro per hour ok? Daniel: That's just fine! Xavier: Same for me! Xavier (whispering to Daniel): Phew, we are lucky! They could have asked for twice as much! I hope I haven't inspired the management of INRIA to seek very alternative forms of financing its business ;) Regards, Markus -- Markus Mottl markus@oefai.at Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence http://www.oefai.at/~markus ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
