I think they just don't know any better. Not all open source projects
are born equal. There are a lot of choices out there, and a number of
them are very high-quality (e.g. I have no reason to think that
Cayenne is in any way inferior to EOF at this point).
Open-source originally was a good ideia for some kind of projects,
Was? It is still the best idea for the 90% of the ubiquitous stuff.
Even in the WO world, the open source components make up a
significant chunk of the stack: OS (sometimes), Tomcat (sometimes),
Wonder, WOLips, Ant, pdf frameworks, AJAX frameworks, and dozens of
others.
but it has a lot of drawbacks, specially when you look at the
quality of the products, because a lof of people work on it and
because many times there's not a roadmap for the product.
Is there a roadmap for WO? Again, not all projects are created equal.
Just like with commercial software, you have to apply your
intelligence to make the right choice.
As you see I haven't argued for or against open sourcing WO, but
let's be reasonable and not generalize too much.
