In a sense I agree, but this style of thinking which priorities
1) lawyers
2) big entities against smaller

had be analyzed long time ago by people creating the Open Source 
culture, and because this style prioritizes monsters like IBM or MS and 
sterilizes the innovation, they elaborated new concepts, new juridic 
terms, and created a whole reaml with tools around them.

Why a lot of users choose Maria-DB against MySql, for example? Not 
because Maria-DB community is bigger than Oracle. But because Maria-DB 
uses the Open Sources standards as they are defined. And so Maria-Db 
community *became* bigger. In this example it is initially the structure 
which is better than the size.

And why MS buys github, or IBM buys Red Hat? Because they understand 
they have got a paradigm which can be better in some circonstances.

Where is VSI here? Another of the very complex questions they have to 
deal with. Good if it is a question. Not so good if the prejudice go 
ahead the judgment.
