It doesn't seem to me that any of these third party developers are doing anything really unique with the code themselves yet. So all the features will be available for everyone in some capacity until people start coding stuff themselves.
But I still find it personally greedy to be setting up commercial enterprises off of anything they haven't made on their own. Reeks of freebie reselling and BIAB to me. |
Depends, there is something to be said for offereing a service. I don't see it that differently from renting out servers running Apache. It's nice when they can contribute back to the programatic development, but that's not the only way you can grow something. Would Apache be as big as it is if only the people who programmed it offered servers that use it?
