Ugh. It's not just "Enterprises" that use FC, though it's the most common case.

It's also in use by people that buy FC gear on Ebay, as they want some of the capabilities that FC offers for whatever reason.

If they've really decided to lock OSS customers out of using FC gear (which would be crappy), this definitely sounds like a move to "Open Core" or something like it and would a shame. :/



Come on man, you can make that exact same argument for damn near every "Enterprise" feature locked away behind a paid tier in every piece of software.


Let us be clear:

They are already doing that and always have been.

This is just unifying the name and the source code.
