Commercialization is always a sensible topic within the spheres of free, libre software and culture. Without any doubt we are all part of the capitalism, we are participants and we are active in rejecting alternative ideas or even discussions how we can treat capitalism towards ethics and moral, giving those two words more important stances. The big failure of free, libre software was and is to reject deeper analysis about its own nature including altruistic motivations. Within this article we want to give more insights on Hyperbola's stance on “Commercialization”.

So first we go on with strict and clear rules we name within this topic:

• Hyperbola is and was always a community-oriented project and system. So we build upon the support coming from the community.
• For sure Hyperbola as system can be also used for commercial interests as part of a free decision.
• We do not accept donations and financial support bound on conditions. And we reject those conditions in any way also, especially when it comes to packaging for payment or integration of a project for payment into Hyperbola as system.
• We accept donations and financial support only as the word says: Donation without any condition, not bound onwards any awaiting towards the system and the community.

Hyperbola is independent and has no plan to change this in any way. We have worked very hard to reach independence and our orientation to community-based software-projects and freedom in general.
