Can you elaborate on what is wrong with the upload?

I checked this tread by chance today...apparently either the thread subscribtion service at bbforums or something else does not work, but I have not gotten any notification about the posts here.

I don't think we'll take this as open source. We don't have the experience or even the mentality to support open source projects.

The topic of why would a company support open source is a long one I guess, but I tried to find a simple answer and it is that a company would do that when it has a long-vested interest in building a community that enhances its market presence one way or another.

If we had a platform it may make sense to take that open source, e.g. our dictionary and reference platform could be a potential open source project.

BeFTP...is nothing like it. Providing it open source would be just giving it out, nothing to be potentially gained back.
