Hi All,

I have a couple questions that I've been thinking about for a couple days now.

Partly inspired by reading:
https://rns.recipes/forum/general/breakout-grant-for-resilient-communication-infrastructure
https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/discussions/127
https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/discussions/790

(And a bunch of other threads here and on github)

I'll try to be concise.

1. I like Reticulum (the idea), RNS (the implementation). I personally would like to give a donation as a show of appreciation (and of the realities of living in a world where money is required).

2. I have a feature (or rather a stability/ease of use) request for using bluetooth as an interface. Are those allowed?

3. I'm a bit confused here about if commercialisation is allowed. Insofar as I understand the license it is, but then in discussion #127 on github it seems like Mark is very much against it, saying amongst other things:

I just know that if the intention of doing this was to take Sideband to show off to money-people without discussing it with me first, it absolutely crosses the line for me, and is in no way OK.

and

If there is something I will absolutely not stand for, it is someone else associating Reticulum, and thereby also my work as a whole, with sloppy piece-of-shit hacks just to impress people with money.

Me and my team (so this part is separate from point 1) intend to use (include, bundle, convey) reticulum (the implementation) as part of a product, and sell that product to both consumers and companies. Is that allowed?

I doubt this would sway any opinions on the matter (and so it's not supposed to) but I'd like to share regardless that we decided on day one that just taking from open source projects is wrong, and so are planning to pay those projects (within reason, dependency chains are.. long) back from revenue gained.
