Craig,

Yep... we have always complied with the GPL (and have been very strong
in that position, going perhaps a bit farther than we needed to) and
always will.

Correct - have we *ever* announced our release plans ahead of time?  :-)

The reality is that given that the developer release now comes out of the 
community, our plans for our commercial products don't really matter to
this forum.  What matters is what all of you want to do for a roadmap
and where you want to go with it. 

The other reality is that we are not going to make any bold changes to our 
base
anytime soon. We have an existing product that works incredibly well and 
is used as the base for a number of other commercial products.  Sure, the
base will continue to evolve and we will certainly be monitoring what the
community does with the SME Server codebase, but we ourselves are not 
planning any dramatic changes at this time.  Beyond that, I'll return to
the silence about plans that longtime list members are used to.

Exactly.
