For those concerned about the license, you can go right ahead and fork the open-source parts and start coordinating the development of any of the non-open parts on your fully open version. Personally, I appreciate the parts that have been made open and love that they could be the foundation of a fully open solution that is viable for organizations of any size. There is no offense in doing this, as this company has intentionally selected to license part of their code to facilitate thus type of competition in the software eco-system. They are betting than no one could sustain an fully open alternative, and therefore their open-core business model is viable. Maybe they are right-- maybe not.
