| And anyone who makes a post like that doesn't understand that they will be dismissed as a ranting loon. In otherwords, there is no need to be insulting and take this type of tone. The rollout could have been handled better by SixApart. Calling this a kick in the face is an over reaction at best as is the rest of your post. | ||

It's a kick in the face.

Don't like the sound of it? Tough. I'm using blunt language to make the point. Dismissing the obvious is how people get into these situations in the first place. They pissed off their users, that's unforgivable unless they're an easily marginalized minority. And by the looks of it, they miscalculated horribly.
Dismiss your users at your peril.

Rather than his post being "an over reaction", I think the resulting furor shows that your saying "The rollout could have been handled better by SixApart" is an understatement of epic proportions.
I think the best assessment of this whole MT license thing can be found here:

MT users seem to have made the mistake of equating a free version of the software with Open Source software, which it is (and has been) NOT. The way Six Apart handled all of this just woke a lot of people up to that fact.
