I agree with the scrutiny, but not the public.
Any code takes time to write and test, and so inherently has a relatively high development cost. Forced disclosure of the source...

'Fraid I disagree, Jay. I believe the point of the interview is to find the right person. That...

Applicant: Do you really understand SQL Server or are you just reading questions someone else has set?
Well? It's no less valid a question to ask than any of...

I think I have to register a vested interest before answering this; I work for Toshiba in the UK.

@ Tim, I agree. Bundling "free" stuff does make good business sense in making it difficult for other integration products to compete. The only point I'd return to is that...
