I only take exception when a large company (especially one that makes a 
lot of money from OSS) deliberately delays disclosure of source purely 
for financial reasons (IE in order to keep ahead of their competitors).

Whilst any company that does that is not screwing the community 
(provided they eventually release the source) they are however treating 
the community in a negative fashion.

Hopefully, Novell will release the source soonish and put this issue to 
rest.
