I didn't say Gosu was proprietary. They've taken this whole "open-source" catchphrase and made some CIO's, that generally don't know anything other than budgets and bodies, feel better.

It does, however, tie you completely to the Guidewire platform/products. A very smart move by the company. It will be decades before these slow-moving behemoths will rip out this language that was a blip on the radar. That doesn't mean it was needed or is as historically important as the devs seem to think.

Oh, God. Trust me, the swiftness or tardiness with which insurance companies replace their Guidewire stack will have nothing whatsoever to with Gosu.
