Btw, I remembered that I once made a kind of translation for SX on the subject of 'what constitutes a sustainable FOSS business' a whole checklist that takes broader look than is typical in the average approach.
May be interesting to have a look at..

@smallcircles @johannab @arclight The field of program evaluation has had a lot to say about this for a long time, predating software’s perceived need to reinvent it. They call these effects that go beyond people who use the product “impact.” So you might refer to impacted populations. Usually in program eval we look for impact to be positive, but it can also be negative. My attempts to share this with software audiences have been quite frustrating.
