90% of this article is sheer propaganda, and so is the Inc. 500 list inclusion. If the article weren't the writer would have at least bothered to read the wikipedia article on HylaFAX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HylaFAX).
iFAX is no open-source commercial idol. iFAX forked HylaFAX to make their so-called "Professional Edition" and keeps that source code proprietary. Likewise, their other HylaFAX-centric software offerings are proprietary.
iFAX's "contributions" to the HylaFAX community have been as controversial as helpful - which controversy largely fueled the forking of the largest HylaFAX contributor to HylaFAX+ (http://hylafax.sourceforge.net).
Yet, this is all inconsequential; iFAX is the parent company for telephonydepot.com, selling VoIP hardware... and that's where iFAX's money is being made, certainly... not in their HylaFAX business. So see this article for what it really is: propaganda.
