YMMV, but to me there's a difference between directly creating financial benefit for the owners of a largely closed software ecosystem--and Chef in practice is a largely closed software ecosystem, it's single-source and they're doing their damnedest to squeeze money out of their users right now--and more general open-source publishing.

So what you're telling me is people would be really disappointed if they noticed Puppet Labs makes money from the same people?

Disappointed? No, I'm not naive.

But if I used Puppet I'd be just as ripshit and hold them to the same standards.
