Mambo Foundation Gets Copyright, After All

Posted by Hemos on from the further-updates-as-events-warrant dept.

daria42 writes "Responding to the concerns of developers and backflipping on a previous policy in the process, Miro, the commercial company which owns the copyright to the GPL'd Mambo content management system has decided to assign all intellectual property rights to the Mambo Foundation, which it created to manage the CMS. The company has been at the centre of a storm of controversy previously reported here on Slashdot, which has seen the core developers of the CMS fork the project."

    Isn't it AMAZING how no matter what evil companies do, open source always loses? Mambo is totally WORTHLESS now isn't it? Miro really screwed the entire world with this move huh?

    Sheesh man, cheer for victories, no matter how incomplete. Open source advocates should take what the can get and always push for more, not bitch about how spoiled their victory is.
