Mr. Robert Douglas,
I am not attacking Drupal for becoming a corporate identity. I realize that running any type of web service has expenses. For something as popular as Drupal I can only imagine what cost are involved.

The thing that I do not appreciate is how this new business mindset was rolled out. As I stated in my response, I would definitely contribute to the progression of Drupal. It just comes as a shock to me that Drupal would expose it's users to so much corporate ideas at one time.

I've always looked to Drupal as a community with unique minded individuals. People who participate in a cause that will revolutionize the way that web pages are being built. By asking the community to put a price tag on the value of Drupal, especially at a time where I see Drupal getting finances from elsewhere, just makes me sick.

To me, it feels like other people are being brought into the community that do not carry the same mindset as the people who have made it what it has become.
