我看到Pentaho想就他们的软件向我收费。我如何才能获得仪表板的底层开源软件，以了解它可以做什么，而无需与 Pentaho 营销人员打交道？

Most commercial open source editions have a community edition that the community hacks on if the license permits it*. Pentaho is no different from them and has a community edition.

In these cases, the "community edition" is not the same thing as the commercial product you would buy. You may find a lot of the gloss and even some, if not a lot of the features are missing. There's no support. Yadda yadda yadda. You get the picture.

*As others have noted, not all "open source" apps need to distribute the source code in the same way as, a GPL application would. Open source, in rawest forms, just means as a licensed user, you get to see the source code.

只是为了提供有关 pentaho 做什么和不提供什么的详细信息——他们确实提供了一个非常完整的 BI 平台作为社区版的一部分。

企业版包含的唯一内容是基于 Web 的仪表板设计器和其他一些零碎的东西 - 即根本没有。

如上所述，成为 pentaho 订阅客户的好处是他们提供支持，这对我们最终实施非常有用。

不过，也请查看他们的论坛 - 他们非常活跃，只要您的问题不是完整的新手问题，他们也会非常有帮助。尽管有支持协议，但我有时会使用论坛，因为我知道它可以更快。

"Open source" is not the same thing as "free" (either "as in beer" or "as in speech").

As much as I'm not a fan of Stallman in general, this article will probably help clear up the distictions a bit: Why "Open Source" misses the point of Free Software

Open Source != Free

IANAL, but I'd say you're bound to the license that the software is under.

Suds 可以从http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/免费下载代码

他们也有一个 IRC 聊天频道，我发现它非常有帮助。
