If it were true open source I think the project would get a lot more contributions. The enterprise edition, with the "best" features, is very much not free.

- kdbuck 10y agoI am willing to accept that other variables might be involved here. I still think the general message of improving OSS is an important one.
- maaarghk 10y agoThis is absolutely true. They actually have a hostile attitude towards contributions. I used to work at a Magento shop (bad times all round) and my (extremely talented) colleague would often submit patches for long-standing bugs through the ticket tracker which would never appear in general release. Tickets would go for months without responses. It's commercial software at the end of the day. With an obscene price tag on it to scam cash out of non-technical business founders. I didn't like my magento job much :/
- njloof 10y agoThis is why we have forks.
- georgestephanis 10y agoWhat fork of Magento actually gets usage?
- davidgerard 10y agoNone as far as I can tell. There's OpenMage, which accepts contributions. But the problem is that Magento Enterprise is shit, and the Community Edition is shit with the functional bits removed. Magento is very much open-core in all practical terms.
