Wordplay (toki pi musi pona?) is fun **because it pushes the boundaries of the "rules"**. Sometimes wordplay is suli enough to move the lon pi selo.
Put another way, prescriptivists make descriptivism fun! #tokikamalawala

I love the distinction that open source _software_ is free, but the _project_ requires material effort and even money! This makes tons of sense, and Rob's video described it very well.
Open Source Software is free, but Open Source Project maintenance is expensive.
The Open Source Maintenance Fee directly funds your projects' maintainers.
Simple. Sensible. Sustainable.

I'm intensely suspicious that each SaaS vendor charging an additional $10-$20 per user per month for access to their LLM assistant is not a scalable pricing model.
I have to make too many tough choices on behalf of my users.
I'd bet that including a helpful AI assistant becomes table stakes soon.
