Here's something I did not like. The following message from the
author/vendor of SugarCRM:

| vtiger is a lie - the legal product is called SugarSales from SugarCRM
| Inc.
| 
| We do not think it very cool of you to claim ownership to something you
| did not write one line of code for.
| 
| Best regards,
| The SugarSales development team.

SugarSales folks desrve our collective graditude for their decision to
develop SugarCRM as a free software. But part of what this means is that
they don't own it. If any other group decides that forking would serve
its interests better, they have every moral and legal right to do so.

Other developers will default to continue with the original and its pool
of developers and users. Unless they feel that devvelopment of the trunk
is not well enough. Is that the case with SugarCRM/TigerCRM? I have no
idea.

For instance, currently TrollTech a good job at maintaining the QT
codebase. But if they won't, then sooner or later someone will fork the
GPL version and develop a really free QT version.
