Are you being obtuse on purpose? Answer to that you even quote: they are doing what the community asked them to do. Unless of course you need to find conspiracy in whatever they do, then it's even easier, they are out to get your shekels.

Maybe YOU should start a company (or apply to become their CEO), armchair CEOing is kind of a waste. Your business plan of open sourcing what they took over a year to develop, giving them so much leverage in any negotiations with the russians, intex and all, top notch ideas. Then when you fail you'll be able to blame the lazy open source community that didn't bother to work on your code for free (looking at you lipstick/browser, open sourcing fixed all problems here, yup)
