isn't this a bit too harsh ?
bitplane is known for long time for close collaboration with scientists,
also for special solutions (although software is expensive, or was, at least).
the announcement was also not ONLY commercial, the topic was in the list
some time ago. Maybe one should stay a bit more calm in reaction ?
