Rapid7 is doing a great job of supporting open source security projects. It is good to see a commercial company who "greps" open source

Not to be pedantic, but wouldn't grock be a better choice of word in your sentence?

Also, fun history lesson, grep = Global Regular Expression Print.

Looks like Rapid 7 is slowly becoming a model of how a proprietary company can merge with the open source world. People were worried that it would be another Oracle way back when it bought Metasploit.
