Wow, I see some tempers getting hot here. I think this has become such an active thread because of the benefits that so many of us see in making this work. Even if Doud wanted to sell it (which he apparently does not), I would consider buying it. I think that people deserve to be compensated for work, even if it is work on an open source product. Surely the Zimbra employees get paid for the work that they do (
see here)- and that's a good thing!
Either way, I see people getting angry because they want what Doud has. I think many of the posters on this thread are not really upset because of lofty open-source principles, but rather because they want access to this technology and they think that their accusations might be an avenue towards getting it. I applaud jerelabs for what seems to me to be a common-sense reply. I also would love to give back to the Zimbra community, and, being a pretty lousy programmer, I find that documentation might well be a good way for me to do so. I also gladly offer Doud (or anyone else that figures this out, for that matter) my assistance in creating a tutorial for this process. I have a full time job as well, but maybe if a few of us each give a few hours, then we can make this together.
