1) In building a vibrant developer community, equal treatment across developers is essential from the start.
2) The ability for developers to customize and optimize chains is at an all-time high, and while there will continue to be complexity, we'll also likely see consolidation in the near term.
3) Community-Source licenses is the future of open software, as it creates alignment with the developer community & project needs.
