Gobe Productive GPL Release In Danger

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the non-gift-of-gab dept.

Elliot writes "Gobe, developers of Gobe Productive, a fast and lightweight office suite initally developed for the BeOS and later ported to Windows and Linux (which never made it past beta stage), announced in August that they would be open sourcing Gobe Productive under the GPL. Unfortunately, it appears that financial issues might prevent this from happening. A shame to see yet another wonderful piece of software [possibly] fail."

    The "it's good enough" mentality will not result in a successful office productivity package.

    Why not? It resulted in a successful OS, Windows.

    Or what I call the worst boot virus ever.
