People are building more and more onto the platform and relying on it more and more, this is ultimate lock-in at the moment. Whenever they want they can start charging companies for API access, search access, access to the data, access to t

The author is confusing the codeplex hosting site with the CodePlex foundation. On the hosting site you can use a number of different licenses and no copyright assignment is required.

This story does seem to gloss over the VC piece, to me it read like they started with no money and got to $170 million without investment. Didn't they raise 30+ million?
