Hi Torsten,

I am a tiny one-man company using mod_perl with great success(*) and
pleasure, and your post has me very worried that it could end in a
hurry :-(

Can't the ASF dedicate some funds for that, to pay for your work? 

Also, I wonder what the big players who subscribe to this list think of
such a situation?

with standard proprietary sofware)
