An Anonymous Coward writes: "Looks like it's official. Philip Greenspun's ArsDigita has been closed, its assets sold to Red Hat. No word on what Red Hat is planning to do with the GPL'd ArsDigita Community System." You may remember ArsDigita from its grand plans during the dot-com boom.

    The article has a (probably unintentionally) funny comment about that:

    The two sides settled out of court in June, and Greenspun gave up his fight for control. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but Greenspun has since purchased an RV and an airplane.
