Exactly, for a business whether or not to share code is a commercial
decision not to be taken lightly.
I currently see no commercial advantage to sharing the code that most
differentiates our products from those of our competition. If on the
other hand we one day write a new device driver, or a some generic
utility for FreeBSD, for example, than I would have no problem
contributing this code to the open source community. But sharing the
code at the heart of our competitive advantage would be commiting
commercial hara-kiri.
