Just to make a vast generalisation with no hard evidence: I wouldn’t be surprised if it often came down to age. When I was younger, I had the desire, and more importantly the time, to keep everything I used as open source as I could afford.

The signup form refuses to allow you to register for a ticket unless you check the “allow us to send spam” check box. That really doesn’t inspire confidence in the quality of the conference.
