A retrospective analysis of what was the motive behind all this? Did they want an Adobe/Oracle type stranglehold/walled garden for max revenue extraction? Did they want to own any new things/ideas anyone invented by a rush to patent/copyright/?? It seems they did not anticipate the amount of fur that would fly and they should probably try to back away as gracefully as possible before they kill their own golden goose, if at all possible after the recent forks as vigourous fan driven forks can exceed their source forks?
