I don't really see this as a bad thing.  Metasploit's new hybrid license
seems to force contributions to be open-sourced so Rapid7's contributions
should flow back to the community.

I’ve dealt with Rapid7...there were pushy and condescending on the phone
since we weren’t interested in their (amazingly expensive) product.  It took
months to get them to stop calling even after we told them several times we
weren’t interested.  If they act like that with Metaslpoit...well...good
luck.
