I am inclined to agree with Michael on this.
The timing of this offer is very interesting. Roundcube is very

an excellent beta 2 and full release cannot be more than six months

Indeed.
@mail is doing this on purely commercial grounds (nothing wrong with
that) but it would be sad to see such a good Open Source project
disappear as it surely would.
I got a chuckle out of this search.

However, I would like to understand what would happen to the source
code
if Thomas should decide to sell. Who actually owns the code given that
at least a dozen people have contributed?
Is it the case that the code will remain open even after he sells
it and
therefore couldn't anyone else start a new project from what exists
already?
The code is licensed under the GPL.
Whatever Thomas does that is his decision and we should all
congratulate
him on creating an outstanding webmail client and wish him well.
Agreed. But everyone keep your SVN sync running in the background,
just in case. ;-)
