As much as I would love that, I do not think getting bigger is an issue for Kx. It seems to me they are doing quite well with their current model.

I have read before (sorry, I do not have the link) that Arthur Whitney does not really believe in open source. That is unfortunate (and a mistake, if you ask me). Even if he did not release a complete product, I would like to study his code. Reading and trying to understand kparc.com/b/ is a very enlightening experience. I wish k.c was there too.

From what I understand, they've made millions off of the big banking clients and that is probably quite straightforward as opposed to making money off open source.
