So for non-techy dude that sounds more business oriente in their question, I can clarify that everything that kbin is or can be is public code that anybody can copy and build from. It's duplicated already by everyone that makes their own instance, and people can make their own edits. for #1, it's all donation. #2, it's all what ernest can churn out before he croaks or gets bored but kbin is just a bin of code that everyone can toss into, there is no singular domain to own. #3 every instance has their own power over their site. It's like Wordpress. Wordpress is the source code to make things easier on the website builder. Kbin is just the website builder like WordPress. What users make of it is up to them and doesn't require a board for each website to be made. We (the user) can request changes that get voted on by other users and can be implemented or not if someone knows how to contribute the code.
