Sure, feel free to generalise from one person's opinions to a policy of the
entire organisation(!) Even I said elsewhere that I'd welcome seeing
theKompany's employees join.

Don't you see that those reasons are ill-founded?  If you are afraid that
your customers will "mug" you by forking your code, being better than you
*and* not having enough respect for you to contribute changes back, what
kind of message is that sending out?  Anyway, the GPL would nearly guarantee
that you could obtain their changes for integration into your development.

You were the person who originally posted that theKompany supported "open
source" while they actually publish under a non-Open Source licence, weren't
you?  If not, apologies for directing the previous paragraph at the wrong
person.
