   I think lawyer time is quantifiable so that's one thing. But the cost of moving a developer over to satisfy the DoJ's request is practically unquantifiable. Say DH has a dev team of 10. One of them moves over to implement the DoJ

    Disagree totally. There are gazillions of software developers quietly plugging away at gigantic companies with over 50k headcount whose contributions will never make it into open source. Think business intelligence software, accounting soft
