Hi Joe, 

yes, these are all very valid points. I didn't like the whole
app store concept from the beginning but its in the interest of
Odoo S.A. to control the customer base and the money flow. It we want
to continue using the plattform as means to spread the OCA as "the"
real community behind Odoo, we probably have to play the game to a
certain degree. Otherwise Odoo will continue to build and "control" an
own non-idependent community.

To me that would finally be the end of all Open Source in Odoo.
Ultimate control and power to exclude is something you strive for if
you would like to maximize producer surplus and probably most valuable
with regard to S.A. overall economic strategy but it is against the
values and core essence of Open Source that strives to at least better
balance producer and consumer surplus (i.e. reaching real market
efficiency)

Best Frederik
