Okay, I formally withdraw my proposal, and I thank you for taking
the time to respond to it.

Just from sheer nosiness, though, I'd be grateful if you'd explain
what you mean by "risky".  Given the rate of mergers and acquisitions
between closed-source companies and open-source projects, I'm getting
quite lost in the dust as to what motivates whom/who(?).

If you'd rather not reply, I forgive you in advance for your silence,
and I will continue to support you and pan according to your needs and
according to my abilities :o) :o)  (If any of you reading this don't
know WTF I'm talking about, you need to do some googling on history!)
