comparison chart, at the end

Every penny we make goes to the Ghost Foundation, which funds the development of our independent, open source software.

I gather withknown is going to take a similar path. That's good. As mentioned in semi-recent conversations not regarding any software or service provider in particular.

@mlinksva@identi.ca Interesting but the must have a different definition of self-hosting then I do. My little server sitting on the shelf in the other room doesn't take either the time or the money that they list. Also it'd be nice to see the money going to 'free/libre software' projects.

@Freemor I think that's called shelf-hosting :-)

@freemor that you set up a shelf-hosted server reflects years of knowledge. I'm equally happy to see free software sold on tiny servers to be shelf-hosted by the masses, ideally going the final 1% and getting RYF certification. The key in either case is availability for $ to the general public lacking any such years on knowledge.
