[consulting] Drupal as a partner

[Chuck D'Antonio]

Absolutely not.  We'd certainly love to have our partners use Acquia  
Drupal as the basis for all of their work, and to sign up all of their  
customers for Acquia subscriptions, but it's not practical for us to  
expect all of your projects to be completed that way.

For Drupal 6 projects, you will even have the option of using the  
Acquia Drupal distribution independent of the Acquia network services  
and support contracts, since it will be covered by the GPL and  
released by Acquia as a completely Open Source distirbution.
