I suppose that he/she's speaking of Evolution Exchange. Apparently nobody told our not-so-friendly neighborhood FUD-spreader that it is GPL and free (as in free beer) since 2004. And it was a plugin, which added a functionality to an already feature-complete software, so I really can't understand from where he/she got out the "frontend to a commercial product" crap.

People have been asking for Nautilus improvements for years, yet I would guess that a great amount of effort will instead be spent on the Evolution shareware.
I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you use Open Exchange on your server ... then you won't have to worry about MS exchange connectors for your Linux email clients.

I think that Gnome would be better if they considered the opinions of users. People have been asking for Nautilus improvements for years, yet I would guess that a great amount of effort will instead be spent on the Evolution shareware.
[If I write a program, and give away half of it--yet sell half of it, does that mean I can get it included in Gnome?]
I am not against commercial applications, but why force the inclusion of a front end to a commercial product in a product that everyone must work on. Would that be fair to a competing company?
With most of the independent leadership replaced with corporate employees, Gnome development may become centered on "include my product too" product strangulation/integration.
Gnome should disintegrate all non-core application, and focus instead on creating a fair and level playing field for all applications that support Gnome. It should be left the users and distros which applications are included.
People have been asking: is Gnome getting better--or bigger.
