I wonder why companies even bother open sourcing their software with all the critics looking for angle's to their motivation. Better to keep it private and not put up with the arm chair open source critics.
- ealexhudson 11y agoCertainly, if criticism is a problem, then doing something in the open with the community is probably not going to end well.

The optimist in me thinks this isn't necessarily a bad thing though, it's certainly better than just killing it altogether. The FOSS idealist in me thinks it's great to be getting all this stuff, under an Apache licence!
