It's not like they can retroactively come back and undo the GPL license on what they've already released. If they're that stupid, you can better believe that there will be a new MTOS project, and that all of the developer base will actively migrate their clients over to MTOS to ensure that the inmates no longer run the asylum.

Does MySQL, Apache or any software from the Free Software Foundation "encourage" a fork by using a contribution policy virtually identical to MTOS? I think it is worth considering the larger question of "why is a singular copyright so important to organizations such as Apache, MySQL, the Free Software Foundation, Red Hat, OpenOffice.org, Plone and countless others?" And if such a strong precedent exists, especially among the most well reputed, well respected and most popular open source projects on the Internet, then why is it wrong for Six Apart to follow their lead? @Paul - Help me understand how our strategy encourages a fork?

I would guess that Wordpress is dominating right now, although I haven't seen any usage stats in about a year, almost all new blogs are using either Wordpress or a heavy CMS like Drupal for podcasting and etc. I always liked MT and I think competition is healthy, but at this point I have two years into Wordpress and Joomla and don't think I'll be switching tools anytime soon. Curious to see what the community developers come up with though. I am still a little confused about what Six Apart’s strategy is with basically encouraging a fork of the code.

Oh, loved this one: "MT is not a threat, or even a serious competitor to WP." never mind that MT has by far the lion's share of the market.. you were almost right though - just got the names around the wrong way.
