Web developer practices open source but doesn't preach it

The firm I work at is based somewhat of the same structure, we try and use as much OSS as we can, we, however, very awarely made the choice to go with TYPO3, an open source CMS system exactly so that we would not have problems with vendor lock's and such. If I want to change something, I can. I can even let the rest of the world profit from it by uploading my changes upstream.

CoalEngine to me is just a way of saying "We needed to make money". Our clients pay for us making them the website and then support with maintaining it, they don't pay for the software we use.
