I for one am very thankful for @cobra. My goals as a novice programmer is to learn potential better ways to solve a problem. He has helped me a lot on my NOAA Weather Alerts pertaining to features I want to do better with but can't wrap my head around. Personally I am very happy that someone who creates unique solutions to our Hubitat issues and many times the HE Staff take inspiration and incorporate the ideas into the platform. Hence why he is truly an ambassador to this community.
Hope this passes and he does go down a path similar to RBoy over at ST. Then whoever keeps complaining about his IP and "open source" can pay up and shut up to have access to some really incredible and thoughtful applications. AND he would have grounds to prevent developers from stealing his IP.
