[QUOTE="Sri Lankan Editor, post: 23754151, member: 566106"] [FONT="Fixedsys"][COLOR="DimGray"] :) Machanz, generally, we have to evaluate the company before using their products Sometimes, we can predict if they will become proprietary or not in the next few years :yes: But in other cases, even if a product stops being open source, it typically only applies to future purchases, and not for continued usage. :) I think as SugarCRM became popular it was acquired as profit could be made. Now, you cannot use the community edition right? If you can, keep on using it while looking out for alternatives. :) But in most cases, there is nothing we can do. :rolleyes: Life is a කුහක and කුරීරු beast. :rofl::P Open source does not guarantee lifetime open-sourceness. :rolleyes: [/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
