This is quite in depth, and discusses both sides of the issue poignantly. I think this is a discussion that needs to happen, and I think that people should know what they are committing to as well.

The article is a bit long but provides an amazing amount of detail, including instances of Income-Share Agreements already being used, who is using them, pros & cons, etc.
