Open Source is Maturing

I've been following SugarCRM a bit in my CRM blog (http://www.thecrmcoach.com/blog) and am pleased with this latest development. I see this as not just a maturing of the Open Source model, but also of the commercial model. I think we're about to see "commercial open source 2.0".

Some may see this move as a sell-out by SugarCRM and market grabbing by Microsoft. I'm sure money is a motive. But, in the spirit of the "virtuous development cycle", I see this move as responding to customer demand and giving the customer more choice.
