Truly, this is the strangest thread. Tim, your company's website says  
you think Lua is a _great_ language. But your comments here have been  
rude and self-involved. You're not listening. You seem to want the Lua  
project to be something it's not. And the fact that the Lua source is  
stable, portable C that's readable and understandable to any good  
programmer gives you no comfort.

As a U.S. programmer for 25 years, I've written lots of software (some  
of which you've heard of) using many different languages, never had a  
problem getting paid, and never had to stoop to the sad business model  
you seem to think is the gold standard. My condolences on your  
situation, but that's not the only way.

After all is said and done, you've raised a valid point, and told us  
why the unusual open source/closed maintenance model doesn't work for  
you. The rest is noise.
