They were bought by IBM a few years back, but even aside from that they’re a corporation and they care about making money above all else.

@FlexibleToast @zero_spelled_with_an_ecks If that company built upon open source and had then to release their work because of the original license, then I can’t speak for others, but I’m ok with it. They can do original work or they can build on others, if they do the latter then they have to expect the same.
