True. Nginx got very popular when it was open source, without a company-face behind it. It's a classic example, how some company do it. If Nginx would have been Pro-supported from the start Nginx would never got that much traction. It's just sad, as server status is a bare essential feature, that all competitors offer for free, yet with Nginx one would have to pay $2,500/year/server to get it (plus running a binary blob with useless additional features instead open source edition).

I don't get why parent got down-voted. He is absolutely right. What's wrong with the confused downvoters?
