@downey @neil When has the acquisition of a FOSS company ever benefited the users of the software?

@alloydflanagan @downey @neil From what I see, it is the other way around: Automattic has a pretty good track record of FOSS (Wordpress, Pocket Casts) while at this point, Beeper is mostly just a consumer of FOSS produced by others. So hopefully Automattic will follow the Pocket Casts pattern and start open sourcing the Beeper app.
