I am sorry to seem trollish. I guess I don't fully understand the business 
model. 

First, as I understand it, the Tiny company develops about 90% of the code used 
in  OpenERP. If that is the case, then forking the code would not make much 
sense, since - apparently - nobody but the Tiny company wants to maintain the 
code base.

If the Tiny company fully publishes all of their modules, then it seems to me, 
that the company would lose it's competitive advantage over anybody else that 
wanted to do the same thing. From a business standpoint, I am not sure if that 
makes sense.

Then again, I have noticed that many (if not all) of the strongest foss 
projects have money behind those projects. For example, the Mozilla corporation 
is largely supported by google, and of course, RedHat is a for-profit company.
