J Aaron, As one of the committers, I would have no problem have any reference to my company removed, if that is necessary for the process to continue.
But I wonder if there is not a bigger aspect to this whole thing. I see your remarks about ASF encouraging commercial efforts, but OFBiz is significantly different in this regard. As has been mentioned earlier, up until this time ASF products have mostly been "tool" oriented. With OFBiz, ASF will be offering a product that is ready for businesses to plug in with very little effort - adding a huge new market for its services. No longer need its client-base be programmers only. Of course, I want to also restate that OFBiz is both a programming framework and set of end-user modules. The big service that ASF offers is to provide quality tools and products for free. This is very important for small businesses and developing economies. With OFBiz, it would be greatly expanding its value to these sectors and I wonder if some good PR could come of it - if ASF makes an announcement that it is moving to more directly benefit SMB/Es, etc. -Al Byers
