DotNetNuke Professional, is it still opensource?

What does this mean? ... Purchase DotNetNuke
What about open source?
How will this affect future releases of DotNetNuke?
Should we start looking for a new open source CMS alternative for ASP.NET?

I think people of DNN joined collective paranoia and insanity of recession and started inventing new ways to get money. I'm sure this is not a good way to go. Sooner or later the community releases will become more and more buggy and we will be forced to buy the "PROFESSIONAL" version (whatever this means). At the end, my view is that DNN will become one more commercial CMS out there.

Do they want to say that the releases of DNN where unprofessional up till now?
That previous versions of DNN are just for amateurs?

Nice way of demeaning your own product.

And the fact there is no price listed on the site, but a simple contact form, means that they are probably just probing the market to see the response.

We as a community should give them our response.

Everybody that uses DNN should go to this address and give their voice about these changes
