But if you look it does have the blessing of IBM Phillipines. And I don't think IBM corporate would want egg on it's face if it found out it was backing a scam. Yet they are not releasing "David" (great name btw) under any sort of FOSS/OSI license which fosters suspicion. I don't think its a scam but at the same time I don't see it gaining an inordinate amount of traction unless it is open-sourced. I am certain I wouldn't be seeing it on the debian mirrors next year if it's not.
