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. | john at sugarcrm.com 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. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
