To All Responders;
I think all of your responses are right on and the majority seem to be
saying
"don't fix something thats not broke".
If you want to see an example of the core group going commercial, take a
look at
Red Hat and their resulting open source Linux effort "Fedora".
Those who wish to go commercial are already doing so with no disruption to
the
EMC2 effort (only enhances it).
I suggest anyone who wants to go commercial with EMC and sell to large
companies or manufactures, get a large capital reserve so your customer
can see how to recover if your system doesn't work.
Then advertise what you can do for their new system, or their broken
controllers.
Remember you can't sell EMC, but you can sell your services, your
documentation
and your electrical/electronic and mechanical products.
People don't own companies; companies own people; and the Government owns
them both. Just look at the companies payroll Tax records.
I'm not sure if this is 1 or 2 cents.
