First of all, let me start by saying that I love uv and have changed all my Python projects to use it. It simplifies dependency management in a transparent and easy-to-use way.
However, after reading this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44357411), I began to wonder - who is this company 'Astral' behind all this?

I read their about, and it sounds great and I'm all for it. But they are still a company, and I presume they want to make money somehow. Otherwise they'll stop being a company, and I don't want that because I really like uv.
But I also want to know if there is some plan to eventually get money out of me, an innocent uv-user. Is it a mistake to become too reliant on uv/Astral? Or can I hope the relationship will be more like GitHub's (pretty happy overall, although it is becoming less usable...)
