Humm,
It seems that the profit grabbing Ferengi would be howling that MT has broken one of the all important [aka Ferengi Bible] Rules of Acquisition today, or errrr, yesterday since I see it's after midnight now:
Rule #57:
"Good customers are as rare as latinum -- treasure them."
Although the new licensing and pricing structure does not affect me purrrrsonally at this time, it is interesting that I just became involved in a workshop which, among other things, will probably be testing some assorted blogging tools and CMS. Good timing?
At this moment, I remain interested and watching from the sidelines, but the vast amount of negative response floating around the web and in Mena's Corner at MT right now makes me immensely grateful that I am not part of the Six Apart team.
I will be curious to see their response. WordPress has already issued a little congratulatory message to them and is probably dancing a bit of a jig.
Sweet Dreams,
Farron [and a sleepy _^..^_]

yes, I'd say, good timing :)
I think it's a wise move to check very carefully what you're 'locking' yourself into when you give your heart and soul (ahem) to a blog tool.
Know thy options ...
Hi Farron,
I was floored when I saw this yesterday. Actually, I went over to the site thinking that perhaps I should change my setup from the Word Press I have been working on to MT... Well, I think someone got it right when they mentioned that Six Apart just shot themselves in the foot. It will be interesting to watch developments!
