Hi Andrew, Thanks for raising the question of making for-profit ledgers (like, one day, your Promise app?) ILP compatible.

There is nothing precluding each member of this group from profiting or creating for-profit entities based on these protocols. Correct! Your Promise app could also be ILP-based for the payment part of contract execution. Even if you don't publish its source code, you can make it compatible with other people's apps. That means, you use your Promise app, other members use their own software on their own server, yet payments succeed end-to-end. That's the Interledger vision. There is a public network of ILP-enabled servers, see https://connector.land . Would you be interested in joining the public Interledger network with your Promise app? The purpose is to convene upon open standards. Through a standard language, all can benefit.
