They SHOULD care.
Someone has to pick up the ball and develop it.
Everyone talks the big talk,
But will they do the big walk too?

INPR would make IB open source not to gain IT credibility, but to move the cost of future development out into the user community. Rather than just killing the product, they will allow the community of IB users to enhance the product as necessary. IT should only care that an open source IB might could offer better price, features, and stability than it currently does.
