I must also say that @tipiirai is the only employed by Muut I was in contact with and thanks to him I was able to create the riot organization on github making important decisions for the framework roadmap. But his contribute is really rare his impact on riot became almost null in the latest months. \r\nWith that said, I don't work for Muut and neither @cognitom @aMarCruz @rsbondi. These guys are constantly working on riot, answering the questions, supporting the community, making patches and deciding for its future. \r\nThis means that we are spending days of our spare time working on the code without knowing who has initially created that file and what they think about our work. \r\nI love riot, and I will keep working on it as always (the next major release will be awesome) but I think a clearer position of Muut on the project would be really appreciated especially on the following questions: \r\n  - is the project [copyright](https://github.com/riot/riot/blob/master/LICENSE.txt) still fair? \r\n  - will we ever get again contributions on the project from the Muut devs ( @aurri  @tipiirai @baer ) ?\r\n  - we are deciding the future direction of the project [directly on github](https://github.com/riot/riot/issues/1322) discussing with the community, will Muut be ever involved in these discussions?\r\n  - This project is opensource under MIT license but is there any risk in future Muut will be able to sell or monetize it claiming its ownership?\r\n  - In case of riot meetings, conferences or campaigns around the world will Muut benefit of the success of the framework for sponsorship/crowdfounding?\r\n\r\nI guess an answer to these questions would be fair for me and for the other riot contributors as well.\r\nI really believe in open source and I hope riot will be completely left to its community/contributors of course never forgetting that it was initially created by Muut ( this reminds me a bit what [happened to  node and joyent recently](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/LICENSE))\r\n\r\nOther opinions are welcome\r\n\r\nGianluca :v: :heart: \r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/riot/riot/issues/comments/174869568","html_url":"https://github.com/riot/riot/issues/1545#issuecomment-174869568","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/riot/riot/issues/1545","id":174869568,"user":{"login":"tipiirai","id":169330,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/169330?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tipiirai","html_url":"https://github.com/tipiirai","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tipiirai/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tipiirai/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tipiirai/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tipiirai/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tipiirai/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tipiirai/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tipiirai/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tipiirai/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tipiirai/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-26T07:25:38Z","updated_at":"2016-01-26T07:25:38Z","body":"Very cool! \r\n\r\nDoodle sounds like a proper tool for organizing the call.
