Never ever ever ever ever give your work for free to a startup unless it’s running under an open source model that guarantees even if they do go public, all that work remains openly available to everyone!
You keep bringing up open source, why? All I did was say that being a non profit isn’t as good an indicator as you might think. How does open source factor in it?

Nonprofits FTW
Oh, there are plenty of counter examples, unfortunately.

Everything is bound to have some bad examples. OpenAI and RedHat were also under open source models.

I’m saying that even if it’s not universal, it’s often one of the better indicators.
