What would be interesting to know is how many of the core individual
developers working on LO that provide say 80% of the development resource
would be willing to work on code that would be under the AL?  If they are
doing it on their employer's time would the employer agree?  This would give
a better idea of how much scope there was for common code development. It
might be too early to expect to know this - some might want more time to
make up their minds and of course developers can come and go.  It just seems
to me that without this information we are speculating on things that are
indeterminate.
