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.
