Speaking as an individual, I would prefer that we keep this a
requirement.  It's more than a fair "trade" for being listed on our
community website.  IMO, it's a show of solidarity with the Evergreen
community and a hedge against those who might want to fork the
software or keep changes to themselves in this new software as a
service world.  If you're going to use Evergreen to "compete", then do
so on a level playing field.  Let others know what software you're
using and what that really means (that there is choice).  In other
words, compete on merit, not obfuscation.  It benefits everyone.
