perhaps but nothing wrong with commercial software provided its 
standards compliant and comes with source. Cost formula's are the 
copyright holders choice not end user prerequisites or determined. Our 
choice is to use it or not.

Nor do I think that development should be "democratized" into some large 
amorphous committee voting on features.

Its not. Helge determines the direction, many add patches, some add 
features which may or may not make it into the release code, those who 
cant code post or write docs or otherwise help out on the user lists.

There is no fee for OGo docs. Pls see docs.opengroupware.org and for the 
latest release candidate User Guide please connect with 
asterisk.opengroupware.org:8080 in the language of your choice.
