Arduino has long been fraught with governance and licensing issues, but at its core has been supported first and foremost by a community of keen amateurs and patient professionals teaching in their off time.

This is a reminder - never sell out your baby unless you're willing to see it squeezed for every penny, community be damned.



Arduino is as influential as it is controversial and has been from the beginning.

If all you need is the Wiring-based ide, you can just fork the GPL version.

It's lot more then "just the ide" that has made Arduino so successful and accessible though.
