I did not go this far with Tucows just to become a part of Register.com, that has repeated and openly used business practices that have been widely known to be questionable.
Someone said "Ditto" in response, and I would say, "Double That", and add my name. The very question of OpenSRS no longer being open source, brings other questions to mind as well. Although, as we all know, Tucows is a business and as such deserves to make a profit, my hat has been in this from the time before they launched OpenSRS, and with the understanding that was tendered at that time, and with the understanding that they were in this for the long haul and not just 'til it could be sold for a profit. Now where I recognize that we are dealing in speculation still, I am expressing my views as a preemptive attempt to be clear about this... I will not stay onboard if Register.com becomes the owner. (and having read the messages that came after the one I am agreeing with, I can see that I am in "good company" when I say that!)
