    @kevinwhoffman I can’t speak to the intentions of all companies, but all of our source code is already on GitHub, and from our experience, that’s not ever been an issue.

    @kevinwhoffman – Our customers aren’t developers who are surfing GitHub for repos.

    @kstover and I love that as a user and member of the WP community, but I think SaaS has been used by some to get around the openness of the GPL

    @kevinwhoffman I was wondering how SaaS will affect plugin development

    Someone pays. Even in the open source community, someone pays.
