You mean trademarked. Trademarks and copyrights are different.

Why would they develop it for free? I thought the idea of FOSS was to
invest in software development that you or your business required as a
matter of operation. Not charity.

It sounded like SGE was commercial too, do you mean proprietary? It's
really very important to separate those two. Confusion leads to FOSS
becoming charity and business mandating proprietary erroneously.
