On the topic of the different Factoid pools, its fair to reward those that add their efforts to building a project, not just money contributed but also the time and energy of the team that makes it possible.
The important differences between Factom's token pools and those that have come before is:
#1. The bitcoin that is contributed during the software sale is locked by third party evaluators until milestones are reached. Meaning if the Factom Foundation doesn't deliver the code described in the milestones it doesn't get a dime.
#2. The Factoids rewarded in the genesis block are not the only ones that will ever exist. Most of the Factoids over time go to the parties that are ultimately creating the most value, that is the federated servers doing the auditing.
So if you look at the Future Issuance bar graphs on this page:
https://koinify.com/#/project/FACTOMAfter only 5 years the Federated Servers have been rewarded as many Factoids as the main software sale pool.
After 10 years the Federated Servers have been rewarded as many Factoids as all the other pools combined.
Meaning regardless of if the balance the team decided on was right or not, when it comes to the pools and who it is rewarding, the effect will drop over time to almost nothing on a long time scale compared to the main reward of the Factoids to the Federated servers auditing.
This is very similar to the Ethereum model of issuing a fixed number of Factoid rewards (as a percentage of the software sale total Factoids) every year to the Federated Servers.
