Yes AlianceOne is only for companies, not for open source as far as I
know.  They require you to be producing a comercial product as part of
the agreement to join.  But I should also point out that their
resources suck and they are one of the worst partner programs that I
have been part of.  My partner contact is a brain dead telecenter
drone and has never given me any support to bring my applications onto
HP hardware. (hah, end rant.)
