I am building a company that falls under two categories (commercial Open Source and developer tools based on internal tools), but I would never take YC money for it.

Because of that stake, they want an "exit" in some form, and the drive to that exit will pave the road to user-hostile software and make it the path of least resistance.

Yeah. YC acts like they are doing you a favor? Come on. They basically give these companies nothing in exchange for a huge stake.
