Cheers Hi Hans - regardless of what you were replying to it, is a fair comment.

I was reading a couple of posts on the site. Sorry, my previous comment was meant for your post on Forrester/evaluation downloads. I was reading a couple of posts on the site.

I know that TIBCO looks on such free information as a net loss. It just serves for comparison shopping, copying features into OSS and product evaluation that is unguided by the sales team. But in the case of CEP, it's also a big part of why there is no CEP community to speak of. No one can blog about the CEP landscape, because there is no public information on half of the products. So to the extent that you would like more of a CEP blogging community (and I don't know how much you care about that, no criticism intended if you don't care), you would want a little more disclosure of information on BE.

The question is how "community" oriented are many "open source" projects. Probably we need some better categorization for the term: source available (eg JESS), source freely available, source available and community coded, etc. PS: of course, closed source software is also often architected in layers to facilitate new developments more easily :) Cheers Glenn - probably you are right.

See http://www.dynamicalsoftware.com/ossCorpSite.pdf for more elaboration on that. For example, Esper's events, patterns, and plug-ins make it easier to extend and customize for your desired CEP behavior.
