Yes! Who do you think spends an an awful lot of their time an effort on 
BQ which is and will stay Open Source!  The CentOS/BlueQuartz installer 
would not exist.

Your right, it is open source which is why this is so wonderful, all 
these projects can be taken and used in their own ways.  If anyone wants 
to build their own version then go do it and don't spend the money but 
don't ask us for advice ;-)  Everyone supports each other, lets not tern 
this into a war please.  You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Aventurin{e} is an enterprise solution for a big setup and not in the 
same league as BQ on it's own.  I wish Aventurin{e} all the luck in the 
world, it's a hard market out there :-)
