They wouldn't take it because it competes with the enterprise features. Do you see why this model is fundamentally incompatible with open source now?

- cbsmith 13y agoAs I said, I have quibbles with their commercial model. I get the problem. In reality though, you can always fork, which puts pressure on them to embrace desirable patches if they are provided from outside, and to move their enterprise features into the main branch. If they keep stuff out of the their main branch that people can route around, it significantly reduces the commercial value they can realize.
