I'm not going to get into an argument on the definition of a product
or how the rules of supply and demand apply to Wicket. Those that
actually care about this thread can make up their own minds.
However I do object to being misrepresented. No where did I call you
folks "slaves", and don't believe that to be true in the least... I
didn't even allude to the concept.
I've been in your shoes as well and understand exactly why you do
it... from various angles.

We build this in our spare time, and are customers ourselves. Wicket
is not a product, it is an open source community. The definition of
community is in the strictest sense defined as the core committers.
They have to do the job, and won't do it when they don't see any
benefit, or don't enjoy working on the project.
It's up to the "core committers" to do the best
job they can to make sure their "consumers" are getting what they
need...

just because it's an OS project that we don't have to buy, doesn't
mean that
the project doesn't depend on people using it.
We don't say that, but without the core committers, you won't have a
framework. Treat us gently and you'll get a lot done. :D
