The 11.5 build is faster, and early x-mas holiday now. So might not be buildt in a few days. The team is Tired. 10 months of hard work completed..


All that hard work stealing open source code, making some improvements, and then profiting off of it without giving back.
Must be tiring.

I guess they're really playing a good long game, since they keep generating new features and slowly fixing bugs, which based on your comments, I assume they're generating on purpose to be sneaky and underhanded about some GNU violation? 

No, I assume they started off the work of other people, did not credit them, and then made money off of what is partially their work.

Even if they did take open source code and modify it for commercial purposes, the software is better than any others out there and there are a lot worse things in this world to get upset about.  The worst is that they have incorporated an open source project and built out and around it, which is common practice. Even creating a closed-source project based on the modification of the core open source code is not exactly uncommon, and there are far more flagrant violators of the GNU agreement for you to gripe about; how about elastic search, they _IPO'd_ on modified open source software which wasn't shared with the community.

So, because other people have done it, it's okay? As a developer myself, I know just how difficult and time consuming this shit is. While I personally dislike the GPL, If someone gives away their code for free and only wants those using it to follow the GPL - it's their right to decide what gets done with their shit. This is how you get people to stop contributing to open source.
