Note: Since I can't seem able to post comments to Prusa's occybu.-thread I'll put this one on here.. Unlikely that anyone would see, nor care..

"For the feasible solution I'd recommend Makerbot-inc to release their corporation-hold of thingiverse if they can't uphold the sprit and legal aspects of open source any longer. It's obvious that the VC:s are calling the shots and original people behind the company are either thown out or bough into submisson with plenty of $$$ ..

In the end I belive that one shared Opensouce based respositery will be good for all. And Makerbot can still release theor parts/designs like others. This way thei will get all the goodwill they can, and I'm sure they will get their fair share of trafic and attention. I'm sure it's been good

PS: Please... We all know by now that MBI is definitely no longer what it used to be, and that something that was kinda expected as soon as they were given VC backing. And I'm sure some of the writers feel like they need (resons unknown to me) to support the company with fierce passion.. but attacking active core level Open-source developers like J.Prusa ain't really good move ..
