"Commercial open-source" is a pathetic term, please. Sorry for the strong words, but it hurts me when I see the term 'open source' with 'commercial'. Whatever happened to 'Hacker Ethic' ?
Sir, I must say, being on HN, you are at the outright wrong place!
Actually, (and this is not intended to defend Binpress's deceptive marketing!!) all Open Source as defined by OSI allows commercial use, and there is nothing anti-commercial about Open Source. So there's nothing wrong with commercial stuff when it otherwise respects all the Open Source values (which Binpress does NOT do, so there is something wrong in their case).
