Separately, binpress looks curious. Their goal seems to be to make "open core", proprietary relicensing and the like something easy for any ~open source developer to do. I imagine many pumpiverse commentators will think binpress is horrible. See http://www.binpress.com/welcome

You only *just* learned about Binpress?

You're impression is too forgiving. They are *not* about open core. They are about promoting FULLY proprietary software by CALLING it Open Source simply because the licensee can access and the source and modify it for their own private use.

They also include *some* actual Open Source but that's not their focus or the majority of their stuff. Most of their software is licensed *entirely* with non-disclosure and other restrictive terms, and there's not even a core that's actually open.
