So, lots of open-source UIs that use closed-source servers for collaborative editing?

This figures. This is one of the ways 'open source' companies can make money.

So, the author sets about making an open-source collaboration server that inter-operates with the existing open-source editor?

Kudos!

But now the company can retaliate by adding features or inconsistencies to the closed source server and its integration into the UI, making the open-source server forever out-of-date and playing catch-up.

Ouch.
