To answer your question: yes, we use Ofbiz trunk as the foundation of the
project so everything fix or enhancement that we do in Ofbiz will be
committed back by Bilgin, our ASF committor on the project.
The solution is tailored to Real Estate Management and we prefer to manage
that seperately. I don't think Ofbiz benefits by adding industry specifc
features; keeping the existing codebase stable and testable already requires
a lot of effort from the community. I personally would like a clearer
separtion between the Framework, Core modules and Add-ons but that is a
different discussion.
We are also thinking of using a different licence to make sure that derative
works are available on the same licence. We're currently looking at Open
Software Licence 3.0. Perhaps other Ofbiz partners can share their
experiences on using a different OS licence?
