So anyone using it or thinking about it would still consider it viable as an
open source project then?
Sure. You cannot exactly just close-source a GPL-ed project. It just means
Xen now has a "sponsor" for enterprise installations in corporate
environments where managers feel better if they pay for something because
they misguidedly believe that passing the buck up the vendor chain makes
it less of their responsibility when something goes wrong. :-)
