+1. If you see me or another Cloudera employee hawking our commercial products on-list, feel free to point it out. Occasionally a user brings up CDH, which is Apache licensed and based on the ASF source and patches available in ASF. I'll answer those questions generally with pointers back to the ASF-hosted JIRA instance. But you won't find me trying to sell our paid/closed-source software here. -Todd -- Todd Lipcon Software Engineer, Cloudera
