This surprises/disappoints me.  Amongst the developer or technical decision maker crowd, are there really still people who in don't grok at least the overarching idea of open source?

The people I meet may not know the geo world has such strong FOSS offerings, and they may not be able to articulate the differences between GPL and BSD licenses, but they definitely understand the general idea.
