SubjectCommercial vs OpenSource

Body

I was the original poster of the "Open Source?" thread. I would like to clarify my position on this topic.

I am not against a vendor posting reference to a commercial product in conjunction with an open source project on OpenNTF. My confusion resulted from the belief I needed to pay for and download files from the commerical site to utilize the OpenNTF project. This was a result of my interpretation of the "Help" document that states: "The DomainPatrol database is OpenSource and the workstation-based scanner is licensed as freeware. You can download the database template here but if you need the scanner goto http://domainpatrol.org".

There is no reference to a "server" scanner in the Help document. Had I understood the difference between the server (commercial) and workstation (freeware) products I would not have been confused.

Other projects on this site reference commercial versions, but clearly discriminate between the two offerings.

Perhaps some re-wording in the project "Help" document would prevent any future misunderstanding.
