Frank, as someone running I.T. and having looked at your product, may i humbly suggest that the market is so large that long term benefits of co-operative competition outweigh the american interpretation of capitalism you are applying here?
Unless I'm misunderstanding your interpretation, your approach only applies to to companies in mature markets that are at the end of their growth cycle. Only then is the benefit to any one company greater in a kill or be killed scenario than a co-operative competition scenario.
Thus, your perception of Cognovis or really any other entity being strictly a competitor is a patently unfair label. One should look at them as partners as well.
At this stage of the game, I believe it is wiser to put wager money on trying to grow the marketplace together rather than try to establish some sort of quasi dominance in a particular niche as that is a stragedy that really only works with a pure closed source play.
With that being said, I do appreciate where you are comming from and your contributions to the community are warmly welcomed by us. We look forward to working with you in the future to the degree possible as well as everyone else in the greater community.
