Datastax contribute a huge amount of work back to Apache Cassandra by the simple method operating on "Cassandra issues" raised by DSE customers inside of the Apache JIRA. If they are not out there selling DSE to these (often quite large) customers, there is not necessarily a commercial driver for fixing these "Cassandra Issues." The DSE features are mostly isolated enough from the main codebase, and from my understanding the teams are separated enough internally, that I'm pretty confident Datastax is a significant net positive for contribution to and promotion of Apache Cassandra. =Rob
