It could be interpreted either way, as either "[an] alternative for [a]
".Net-centric" [product]" or "[an] alternative [(but still .Net based)]
[product] for [a] ".Net-centric" *provider*"

According to the SplendidCRM website, it is indeed developed on .Net.
"SplendidCRM was written in C# using the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
and Microsoft SQL Server 2000."

Although Roy clearly missed the context, the sentiment is still correct,
that here is a company that could not find a viable solution using
proprietary software, and needed to turn to FOSS for the answer.
On the front page:
'SplendidCRM Software, Inc. has released SplendidCRM Professional 1.3
and SplendidCRM Open-Source 1.3, Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
applications licensed in part under the "SugarCRM Public License 1.1.3".'
This license is a modified version of the Mozilla Public License Version
1.1:

As for Roy's further comments (or rather observations) on .NET, I agree
completely - it's the bloated bastard (kidnapped) son of Java, and
should have been killed at birth.
