Is CommonRoom Being Cheap or Being Stupid?

How seriously should we take CommonRoom? A startup who’s founder recently claimed Facebook was his idea, boldly display a logo with the message “Created by an unlicensed version of BB FlashBack” in their public demo!

No, they’re not being cheap, for there are many open source tools out there. And I’ll bet my head on this, that they can afford to buy one if they feel too lazy to dig around. That leads me to conclude: they just don’t care.

But I do. So for once, saying NO was so easy.
