They did.

and
http://icinga.org/

I guess Nagios Enterprises will never confirm that. It's left to the user, opening http://www.nagios-plugins.org/ and https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/ and compare their content. https://plus.google.com/101435336006767659040/posts/W2HUysCafyD That's also mentioned in Holger's announcement here: https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/archive/devel/2014-January/009417.html

The funny thing is, that Nagios Enterprises didn't write Nagios 4.0 - that work was done by Andreas Ericsson who works for op5. So instead, you should call "Nagios 4 Core" "op5 Core" if you're looking for the who-did-write-it. The sad thing is, that Nagios Enterprises kicked out Andreas Ericsson out of the Nagios core development after recognizing that people actually knew that Andreas was the only core developer at that time - working for a competitor. Andreas forked Nagios 4 into Naemon abandoning the dictatorship by Nagios Enterprises. You may find their website interesting but there more interesting read is located here in terms of the Nagios Plugins project: https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/archive/devel/2014-January/009432.html If you're interested in more details, the announcement happened on last years OSMC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgbbyyNIiHc So other than the clusterfuck by Nagios Enterprises in regards of lying to the community again, they've lost their last core developer and there are fellow forks around the corner filling the gap. If you're questioning yourself - I am the lead core dev of Icinga, but what's written here is my sole personal opinion.

The story is a but more than that - they took the website almost as-is, forked the codebase and are portraying themselves as the original project with a new developer base, insisting the original developers are the fork.

What the fuck man, you are correct. It's almost creepy to watch the /team.html page both at nagios-plugins.org and monitoring-plugins.org. The sites look identical but the names on the lists are different.

"In the past, the domain "nagios-plugins.org" pointed to a server
maintained by us, the Nagios Plugins Development Team. The domain
itself had been transferred to Nagios Enterprises a few years ago, but
we had an agreement that the project would continue to be independently
run by the actual plugin maintainers. Yesterday, the DNS records were
modified to point to web space controlled by Nagios Enterprises instead.
This change was done without prior notice."

Hmmm...
This site https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/news/index.html

announced that the domain name would be transferring to Nagios in SEPTEMBER 2011.

perhaps the domain registras have just actioned it?
