I don't think any coder would see it that way... Jelsoft is a commercial company built to make profit... if we "help" it being bigger, and we receive not a single line of credit at the end, why would we?!...

If Jelsoft hire coders to build these tools, no problem with that vision... if they just wait for us to make their profit grow, forget it... most freelancers will continue to release their work on their side with their own profits in their own hands.

This is not only about Jelsoft, but all the companies that have fan communities... IPB have the same kind of situation, but when a great coder bring great tools, they buy the coder's work instead of (being inspired by) the ideas... on phpBB, the entire project is non-profit, so it's part of the individuals to release their own engines... for sharing.. but most of the phpBB releases lately were to copy vB features... so that does not count.
