On a side note, here's something more on how Calacode regards the OSS community and its software:

In fairness to them, I wouldn't expect them to praise their competitors, and calling RC half-finished is only underestimating by a couple dozen or so percentage points at most. As for support, they're pretty much right-on the button in terms of how corporations define "supported."
As for the other comments about them on freshmeat, I would take the accusations about root access, etc with a huge grain of salt. None of that post made a whole lot of sense to me.
What I'm trying to say is that there are plenty of reasons to be wary of this deal just based on common sense. There's no reason to bash what seems like a perfectly legitimate business.
You're right, I'm sorry. My anger got the best of me, because I still think their initial offer is outrageous. But that's probably just business. I know why I hate business ;)
