>>You compare Sourceforge with SednaX, which is wrong in my oppinion.

No, I was responding to the "taking anything and everything out there and throwing it together randomly" and "commercial competitors" justifications for not taking this product as open source. I gave examples of the premier open source repository accepting disconnected projects that all have commercial equivalents. Obviously this is compatible with the open source space. That was my point.

As for competition: I use West Wind and can see that an open source web tool for VFP might affect West Wind, but if it did, it would be Rick Strahl's job to create advantage for WW to justify its expense and/or to retain customers. He wouldn't have to work hard to retain customers like me. On the other hand, if WW upgrades started costing $$$ for no great benefit, I might look at the open source option. I really don't see any victim.

Finally: I observed that selective censorship risked people deciding this was all about trying to move people to dotNET. Lets not forget this argument is about a web tool- something VFP doesn't offer out of the box which is fairly unusual in 2006. If this product is blocked from the "community" open source arena, will there be a freeware/open source web tool for VFP? I'm not the only one asking that question. I'm disappointed that one of the project owners has taken it personally, but IMHO this is pretty obvious. Web is important. Not everybody can afford an extra commercial tool. What will they do?

We've subsequently seen an "acid test" justification- "can the originator walk away and leave somebody else to manage it". That one makes sense and would have drawn no opposition if it wasn't for the strange justifications offered up before that.
