Mojo not being 100% libre software is the biggest reason why I haven't done anything more than play with it briefly.

He seems excited that the standard library is now "open source" isn't enough for me to be interested.

Yeah, I totally respect that they have to make money. But the reality is 99% of programming languages are completely free and open source so I can't see it really succeeding if it isn't too. Which makes it a tough business.

They keep repeating that they will make it all "open source" eventually. But, money makes people break promises.
