Thanks for your comments! It's a tough balancing act a company like Pentaho has to do and I admire them for the way they have been doing that over the past years by building a strong community on the one hand while on the other hand offer an attractive solution for which Enterprise customers are willing to pay. It's a two edged sword: without commercial success, there's no company to serve the community, and without a strong community, offering a competitive commercial solution isn't possible. So as much as the purist in me would like to see a 100% FOSS BI software stack, this is the way it is and probably the only way Pentaho (or any commercial OS vendor for that matter) can prosper.
