Dennis,
Our contribution to the community includes vast amount of activities. I will list few of them: - A community edition product - free of charge to be used in development and production. This is the full product that allows users to enjoy our enhanced lookup service, transaction manager and a world class industrial JavaSpace implementation. This edition allows users to have unlimited amount of clients, deploying unlimited amount of POJO/Jini services and also have unlimited of local cache nodes. It does limit the amount of the JavaSpace nodes to one (i.e. non-clustered). - A start-up program - provides the above without any limitation on the JavaSpace cluster size for start-up companies free of charge. It allows users also to enjoy the other API's we provide such as JCache, JMS, JDBC API and also our C++ and .Net JavaSpace API libraries. I must admit the .Net JavaSpace has a huge success. - 100% of the client code is open source - It is provided as part of the product distribution. This includes top quality documentation and allows users to learn our client internals and debug it in case of problems. Users also often use this code to enhance our built-in capabilities to be customized for their specific needs. - Public forum - Allows users to submit questions and get answers directly from engineering and our architects around the world free of charge. - Promoting other open source products we use - these includes Spring , Jetty , Hibernate , Maven , your Rio project and others. - www.openspaces.org <http://www.openspaces.org/> - a site that allows users to host their open source projects. The projects build around our JavaSpace implementation. See more details here: http://www.gigaspaces.com/communitycontribution As you can see, there are very few companies around the world that promotes Jini/JavaSpaces as GigaSpaces. Contributing the specific code we have created to enhance the Jini components would involve submitting also our proprietary communication protocol technology and other components that provide us uniqueness when competing with other products on the market. When having such a competitive environment in a very hot market, I'm not sure it makes sense to do so.

Hey Shay, Why dont you just contribute them to the community? Or do you want to continue to just take from open source and not give back?
