A wise move. Although fully open source is a great goal, the reality
is that it's very risky if your business relies on the software
moving in a certain direction. Open source communities have a way of
taking sharp left turns, which go to very interesting places but not
necessarily anywhere you needed to go for your business needs.
FYI, I have heard this referred to as "source available" rather than
"open source".
