Hi Christine,
Don't paint with too broad a brush. I understand your concern - open
source is not a business plan! - but there are businesses and business
plan that are fully aligned with the goals of the community.
Thanks,

On second thought, it's not the enterprise, or enterprise users, who

customers who want to continue calling their software open source, but
be able to use non open source restrictions because their business plan
doesn't work.
