KDE League .... Inc. No Longer?

Posted by chrisd on from the good-desktop-regardless dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The corporate status of the KDE League, Inc., was revoked earlier this year by the Delaware Secretary of State when it failed to file necessary papers and pay fees, according to this report in Linux and Main. In addition, the organization seems to have overlooked financial disclosures that are supposed to be made public under federal law. And asked about it, the KDE League's chairman, Andreas Pour, refused to comment." Update: You can read a statement from Andreas here that explains what's going on. Thanks to Thomas Zander for the update.

  1. This is the most outrageous crap you have come up by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Troll

    This is the most outrageous crap you have come up with for a long time dep. It is quite normal to let a body lapse if the members lose interest as most groups and individuals have in this type of organisation since the dot.coms and Ximian.
    Or do you think that Dre should fork out a $1000 of his own money to keep the shell going of an organisation that he is a member of?

    I myself let an organisation lapse when the members got tired of it, it is a normal everyday occurence and it is no wonder all these volounteer just give up with muck rakers like you around who try to turn nothing into a crime just because Dre has beat you in so many debates and the kde community rejected you because of the type of person you are.
    We could write the same crap about you; Slashdot.org is just a $2 shelf company with no bricks and mortar.

    You Sir are a disgrace to the human race.

  2. No more KDE? by Vinnster · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is this the end of KDE? will all future Linux distros have to come bundled without KDE as a desktop manager? I love my KDE as much as the next guy, but I must say that I'm worried there won't be any further versions of this excellent desktop manager. I know there are others, but I've grown into KDE. Also, I'd like to say, at this early on a Saturday, there were no "first posts" posts. All of those FP lamers are either
    a) too tired from the flame war they engaged in last night (typical firstposter Friday Night activity)
    b) Watching Saturday morning cartoons, or
    c) Hungover
