       However Zelerate found itself unable to leverage the potential
       of the GPL license with the real free software community, say
       insiders.  "The company couldn't accept any code from the
       community, even if we wanted to. [Zelerate] turned down a
       complete set of patches porting AllCommerce to Oracle because
       the lawyers hadn't drafted that agreement yet..." said the
       source, speaking on condition of anonymity.  "Management had no
       idea how to leverage open source development into an asset for
       the company, and instead behaved like a normal software
       development company that gave away its product for free." Not a
       business model to keep VCs on board, we guess, particularly
       when they're fleeing Silicon Valley tech start-ups. ®

Ummm....
