Nopes. We're selling a packaged solution based on opensource. The fact
that it *is* opensource is actually a salespitch, because customers
don't have to worry about company continuity.

Besides that, I've submitted some 30-odd patches back to nagios (core
project, don't get me started on the plugins) for bugfixes, new features
and what not, and I'm always keen on beta-testing new stuff so that it
can go stable as soon as possible.

Sakersoft ripped it, modified it and gave nothing back.

It's not. It's against copyright law, and Ethan can sue their pants off.

My thoughts exactly. Glad we agree.
