Is that just a guess, or is Wikia in a financial bind?

About Jimbo, that's crazy. There are tons of CEOs that are also on non- 
profit boards that have similar areas of interest. Jimbo's for-profit  
companies are what originally helped fund Wikipedia in the first  
place. For a guy who was so willing to put that money into Wikipedia  
instead of into his own pockets, I find it hard to believe there is  
any kind of conflict simply because his latest venture also uses  
MediaWiki software, or that it is even a viable business strategy.
