Yan and Bill, Thanks for the input. I'm intriguied by the impact organizations like Apache are having on the industry. This seems to be a pretty strong community of good willed developers that go out of thier way to give something back. Then I look at corporations like IBM that also support Apache for different reasons. I don't think thier primary intentions are to give something back but rather to become more profitable. Interesting how the two blend together.
