However I would not feel totally comfortable accepting your response - on "face value" so to speak , not because it clearly and intelligently lays out the relationship of Openlogic with developers and the community, but because there is no way to verify or support any claim or statement made in support of the company's position. It is incumbent that OpenLogic is willing to publicly identify at least one relationship with Open Source Software vendor business or developer group that is mentioned in online response, and secure a "published" endorsement from at least one named individual or group from the open source development community that it supposedly supports. i am confident that such effort will be invaluable and successful in OpenLogic marketing program and provide positive publicity to/for the Open source development community. Otherwise, statements as made can be construed as mere "public Relations" stunts with no basis in fact or reality. W.
