It's mostly incorrect. SpamAssassin is still SpamAssassin, the Project continues. Nobody can buy an open source project and make it closed source without _all_ it's contributors agreeing on a license change. I for my own won't. What has changed is: * We lost three of the main developers (including the founder, Justin) (probably) * We know that somebody big and evil will rape our project in future without giving a shit back to the community (very probably) Regards, Malte -- Open Projects are made of Open Discussions. -- Me ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
