3 things are of concern to me here.
#1 Jean Luc leaving if the community took a no vote on 2.0.
Personally I don't see where he has ever made that threat. He HAS said that without an ICO then there won't be funds to continue development and NXT could be in the same situation as bitcoin where a company comes in like blockstream who's business model does not reflect the better interests of the coin holders.
This is an absolutely legitimate concern.
I agree we need a 2.0 but it needs to have a longterm plan in place with clear goals, it needs to not break existing shit, it needs to not dilute existing stakeholder value and I don't think we need an ICO or a coin split to do it. There are alternatives. Alternatives which would compensate devs for the work they do while allowing the community to accept or reject changes to core.
#2 Relicensing the software.
I write code for a living, this impacts me. If you don't write code for a living this has no impact on you.
Before anyone gets their panties in a knot over this, let me explain what GPL is.
I've been releasing my code under the GPL since Junior High.
The GPL is licensing, not copyright. Licensing and copyright are two completely separate ballgames.
Copyright belongs defacto to the person who wrote it or the person or company who paid to have it wrote.
The GPL is a specific license that allows you to not only see the source code of the application you're running, but also copy it, modify it, change it, even repackage and sell it as your own. As long as you acknowledge that the original source is under the GPL and all changes you make to the code are GPL licensed code and that those changes are published.
This makes it viral and prevents company A from claiming person B's work as their own while still allowing company A to use it without asking for specific consent.
The MIT license is similar in most regards, but the move to GPL from MIT made it harder to sell private copies because the MIT license is not viral, changes do not have to be published.
Here is the truth. If I want to fork NXT, swap out the default UI with my very own custom souped up UI and sell it, I can still absolutely do that.
I can even call it Devlux NXT! Although personally I like Evolution NXT

I know it sounds astonishing, but it's the truth.
RedHat made $2 Billion USD last year doing exactly that.
Whats loads of fun, is that this also allows anyone to take RedHat's changes, strip the branding off and sell it or give it away as their own product.
Behold CentOS.
Zend does it with PHP and I think you'll find that it's the norm, not the exception.
However, if I want to do that without releasing my changes, then I have to pay the developers a licensing fee.
This is par for the course and a valuable revenue stream in nearly all open source projects of note.
This is exactly how "community" vs "enterprise" versions come to be. There is nothing wrong with it guys. Any developer who wants to can make their own choice whether or not this is something they want. But frankly, I don't know any developer who would care or even think twice. In fact any developer in their right mind would support this. If they become key to development even if they aren't compensated by the company directly, there is a very good chance that lucrative consulting gigs will follow. That's how I got my start as a professional freelance developer, eventually working my way to Systems Architect for shit you've never heard of, but does really important stuff like ensuring you don't buy spoiled milk or orange juice.
The danger of course is when the enterprise version becomes the only version and the community is effectively locked out of getting upgrades unless they pay a license fee. This is what I think Marc is objecting to. If it's not, then it is what he should be objecting to. That hasn't happened yet though and it doesn't have to happen. If it did happen it could happen tomorrow or 10 years from tomorrow, the stakeholders would not have the final say. This also is what I believe Marc is really objecting to. So the answer here is to extract an enforcable agreement that no matter what, the community will define what is and is not the NXT coin. No breaking changes go into enterprise that would force everyone to upgrade and pay a license fee.
#3 You all have meetups? Without me?
Seriously guys, where and when is this going on? Any chance of coming to Cancun for it?
