Netgate isn't exactly your average open source contributor either. In fact, their product is very much closed source.

Even the areas of it that have been "open" have largely hidden, incomplete and non-buildable for the longest.

It's really a mixed bag. They pay for a bit of development but throw their weight around in ways that are harmful to the project.

That's why its sad that this time when they seemingly behaved mostly like good citizen it didn't work out very well especially for them.
