This subject of Open Source projects and community forking is both sensitive and relatively new that often advocates for and against the OS movement find confusion over 2 of its semantics:
1) That Open Source is speaking more of utility applications such as Operating Systems and Databases, whereas with the appearance of Compiere ERP/CRM these few years have proven to be characteristic potential of the disruptive web, as it reaches the pinnacle of the value chain.
2) That Open Source is a popular marketing ploy by vendors to first popularize their software and then closing it away to reap the benefits of their low cost branding effort. Its my contention that such a strategy doesn't necessarily mean wealth. Look at Google's rise that didnt use the advertising space it carries as opposed to Yahoo!. Remaining more free seemingly proves more wealth. Remaining forever free must then mean unlimited wealth.
This thesis is now put into its trials with yet another historic fork that Adempiere represent.
