... or work at Hotwax Media or any of various other companies that
will pay you to do the same foundational and generic work in the
Apache 2 licensed OFBiz instead of the HPL licensed opentaps. Not
only will your work have visibility in a larger community, but you
can use your work in your next job without encumberances, even if
that next job is your own company where you want to create build
solutions, even commercial ones, based on OFBiz.
Not to say there is anything wrong or bad with what Open Source
Strategies is doing (it's great to have their participation in
OFBiz!), but just pointing this out so that those listening in
realize there are other equally valid alternatives.
