BlogFusion, changing hands

I guess I haven't been paying attention to the BlogFusion dev blog enough. I typically check it once a month or so, Jake hasn't been posting much. Turns out in the last two weeks or so I guess, Jake has sold or given away or something, BlogFusion. Two new guys are taking it over, and commercializing it. I'm of two minds on this. I know you have to make money to be in business, but BF's open-ness what why I picked it for the various blogs I've created. Jake provided an incredible starting place, and I could run from there. Now it seems Dave and Jim plan to lock the code up and sell it as a closed system. I can't tell if they're going to sell it encrypted, or sell it as a hosted service, maybe they don't even know.

Based on what I've read so far, it looks like 4.5.x was my last BlogFusion purchase. I'll start making enhancemnents to this code base and go from there. Sure wish they had waited one more version :) so much of what I have to do, Jake did in his work towards 5.0

Oh well. I thank Jake for all his hard work up until now, and wish Dave and Jim the best of luck in the future.
