I'm still sorting out how I think this might affect me, a very small user of the OSS edition (just for a dozen friends and family). One thing that would go a long way to help me feel confident is a personal commitment from the core Zimbra brain trust to be willing to take the Open Source version and fork it off if Yahoo! does bad stuff, like choke off hosting competitors, close the source, add nasty advertising, etc. I'm not sure what kind of restrictions were placed on key people as part of the acquisition, but that would really be something I would like to know. If Yahoo! ruins Zimbra, can you and will you get us back to what we wanted to start with?
Hope this makes sense.
