IPO more driven by revenue?

Dana, I think that the public offering has more to do with Sugar's proprietary success than it's OSS cred.

OSS cred is required to get a user base. But, a non-paying user base doesn't really appeal to Wall Street.

I would wager that few, if any, new or future paying customers were drawn to SugarCRM because of the license change. Note your point about Sugar's partners (who drive revenue) that are pushing the 'proprietary' product.
