But that's the thing Gert... If you DO open source it, nothing would change on your end except that people who WANT to get involved COULD get involved. So even if no one decided to help out, you wouldn't be losing anything. And you never know...people could jump on board and Railo could get a serious jump start.

Don't get me wrong, I do not have anything against open source. BUT we are yet to small and I don't think that the community will dig into our tens of thousands of lines of code first to understand it and second to fix it. If Adobe would do it, then this would be different. If we open source Railo and we would be faster in some cases than other vendors, they could easily adapt our code And just like James posted. If you have a decompiler etc. it is already open source.
