The source code is available on request to customers to extend or modify (or at least it used to be) and the company is very supportive of open source projects in general. Additionally, if we are not prepared to use non-Free tools, we should probably stop using github. (This example is a little trite, seeing as there are non-github alternatives available for grabbing the source code. Then again, the mailing list is not disappearing any time soon, so there is a free alternative to _any_ bug tracker that is used) Regards, Andrew Ardill
