My recent blog post (http://blog.qgis.org/qgis_going_closed_source) appears to have caused confusion for some. Be assured that the post was an April Fools (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_fools_day) joke.

QGIS is Free and Open Source Software and will remain so. There have been no changes to the project management, license, or philosophy. The development team is hard at work and preparing for a new release in the near future.

I apologize for any concern this may have caused in the community. Obviously my humor didn't translate well to all corners of the user base.

My previous QGIS April Fools joke a few years back was that we were porting the code from C++ to Java. Nobody believed that one...
