The whole idea of a commercial firm using the Kickstarter idea to raise 
money for one of its projects
already involves 'ethical concerns'; but, unlike Richard Stallman and 
Robespierre, I am not obsessed with ritual purity;

and Robespierre got his head chopped off,

and

Stallman ended up a voice crying in the wilderness.

So, B*gg*r the 'ethical concerns' (or, put it another way, we can all 
bash Kevin on the nose if the Open Source version is not forthcoming)
and let's find a way to get this marvellous idea / opportunity working, 
with or without involving Kickstarter;

it is too good a chance to let slip because neither you nor I have 
bottomless supplies of money to stump up.
