Has anyone actually used HQ before bashing their move to open their source. I am continually annoyed about how people will slam a product becasuse they are trying to do something good for the community. Hyperic at the end of the day has to make money, however, they believe in the community that it is built around and are trying to meet the best of both worlds.
So before one slams their product, try it. As I have had experience on monitoring software from large installations to very small installations HQ is the best bang for the buck AND is open-sourcing it's code. No other *enterprise* monitoring software currently does that, so my hats off to them on being able to achieve that.
