I wanted to connect to Hive server with Hive ODBC driver (to try Tableau).

I noticed there is Hive ODBC driver in Apache. Cloudera created a closed-source 
proprietary ODBC driver instead.


Why Cloudera didn't contribute to open source?


I understand Cloudera has become proprietary (SCM express is proprietary, Hive 
ODBC driver is proprietary, new management tools are proprietary). But in this 
case there was already Apache open source code for Hive ODBC driver and 
Cloudera chose not to contribute.
