savings on development cost in the future.
I think everything that isn't a core focus of a company, ie revenue
generation (competitive advantage), it should be released open source.

I guess that's the issue. There is no cost to this product because it isn't
for sale. NetworkCentrix has worked so well for us internally that I was
trying to convince my partners that it could be a sellable product. What I
really wanted to do was to have the framework available as a free download
and open source (kind of like the Linux thing for CFers) and then users
could download, build and exchange modules. But how do you justify that to
an accountant?
If it is ideologically similar to Spectra, then there is less of a need for
it -- although I think Allaire could have done a better job communicating
this aspect of Spectra. Thanks for your input.
