sraps,
Make no mistake, OpenERP is now a very active open source project. There are lots of third party contributions of various ways that don't even come from partners. Last example today: third party non partner contribution to the French translation: http://openerp.com/forum/topic8243.html Of course, most of the SCM contributions are indeed from partners as those are very involved and that would be just plain stupid to involve you as much as contributing a lot without partnering, while you would then benefit a lot from it. There is lot of business to be done, so partnering is for sure a minor temporary cost compared to the overall business activity one get from real expertise. Finally, you said: > Read review: > http://www.ohloh.net/projects/4314 > > I mean last sentence of the second review... okay, for sure there was an issue with the SCM access before 2008, but they were never any GPL violation contrary to what is stated. So anyway, I answered on that review, here is what I said: > Hey Sorin Sbarnea, > > cool down, this for sure has been an issue before (that's why I tossed them > too at that time) but since Q1 of 2008 they open up their SVN and now their > Bazaar on Launchpad, see: > http://openerp.com/launchpadlaunchpad-access.html > So no issue at all here anymore.

I think you are getting paranoiac about a great product you could just benefit a lot instead. Anyway, I'm always happy to help other people on this forum and provide them information, but if you miss that opportunity, that's none of my business, so... I mean, I can't understand you put so much energy into criticizing that product and you can cite such a review that's obviously completely wrong about the SCM and the GPL. So unless you are some fake or worse, I'm sorry but I don't get it. Oh, by the way, even if your are some more fake, you might just better quit your current position and catch the right train instead.
