Why the lack of Community in Community Edition?

Post by hbp112358 » Tue Oct 30, 2012 1:46 am

If this is a community Edition why not release it under BSD license or another restricted for profit license and allow the kernel hackers out in the world to help them develop their product? just because it's the more advanced of the 2 functional zfs clients for OSX in pool revision does not restrict the communities willingness to assist a company into fruition.

My personal belief on why tenscomplement died was their unwillingness to work with the community as a whole to see their project through. there is allot of talent willing to donate a tremendous amount of time and energy into this however having the code for both the GUI and the backend locked away with 5 to 20 folks reviewing it and updating it is not anywhere as fast or efficient as releasing it as a community project and allowing input.


just my 2 cents worth been doing this a while now, Beta'd this project when it was under Ten.
