[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [General] Discussion on ROS to ROS2 transition plan

However now that Open Robotics is a for-profit business, its a little bit contradictory that they should help their competitors out

The Open Source Robotics Corporation may be a company that is legally allowed to make a profit. That does not mean that they exist to make money nor that they necessarily have "competitors". The reasons for forming a company were more about allowing the sorts of donations that a non-profit foundation is not allowed by law to receive.
