Thanks for the info.

I think the key question is whether this is an individual working on
open source code, or some kind of company effort with a monetization
plan.  If the latter, then it should be transparently described and
people working on behalf of a company should post from a company domain
and identify themselves as such.

That's really all I was getting at; it was a post from gmail, with we,
and buzzwordy description, so it just didn't seem like it was not
corporate and it wasn't labeled either.  Explaining the situation is
very easy and should take less time than it took to write your email and
mine combined.  Unless people aren't authorized to speak plainly of
course.

(I don't mean so say that anything a company does is bad either.)
