I absolutely agree that Wallaroo Labs wrote the code, and they get to decide what license is on it. It is, as you say, their business.

I hadn't forgotten that; I wish every success to Wallaroo Labs, and hope that they are soon "making tons of money". I think their product could be very exciting.

Personally, I think their product would be even more exciting if it were fully open source. I think more people and companies would get involved, and that this would accelerate development and adoption. There are other business models which could support this (paid support, hosted instances, etc...) which are not incompatible with the software being fully open source.

Ultimately, the decision belongs to Wallaroo Labs. Their assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of the available business models is clearly different from mine.
