Exactly my point, Mehdi, it is no longer going back to the community. It's going to a corporation not too different from Vmware, but the code was, dare I say, 85% written by the open source developers who didn't get paid.

Meanwhile, I will stick to VMware.  The
reason being: if I am paying someone for something, that someone must
wrote the code themselves,not piggy backed from the open source community.

I just think different : if I am paying someone for software, I rather
that what I paid will help to develop a GPL version. I just think that the
money I give will partialy go back to the community...
