Ekiga por US$100,00

Tema: 

He visto hoy en la lista de usuarios de Gnomemeeting que la nueva version 2.2 de Ekiga va a ser de pago, no es mas GPL como lo habia sido desde hace 5 años atras. Al parecer el desarrollador principal del proyecto esta algo cansado y casado, como es normal se ve ahora obligado a programar por algo de dinero a cambio.

El texto del anuncio en la lista de correos:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnomemeeting-list/2006-April/msg00002.html


Ekiga users and former contributors,

due to Damien's decision (http://ekiga.org) it was necessary, to
adjust the license headers in the source code and some other things:

From today, 00:00 UTC

- it's no more GPL. The new license model and the price list (licensing
per user / per CPU) is being written and will be made public soon.
- the CVS repository (former cvs.gnome.org) was moved to one of Damien's
servers, and the anonymous access was disabled
- distribution of the application - especially of the source code - is
restricted
- ekiga.org will be moved to ekiga.com soon
- ekiga.net platform restricted access to paying users only (except the
service 0800-EKIGA ekiga net, which is a voice message about how to
get registered as paying user)
- a license for free is only available under specific circumstances

I'm not happy with that decision either, but he holds the copyright.
I will quit this project, after I got my last cheque :-(

Y el anuncio en www.ekiga.org :


Ekiga for 100 dollars 2006-04-01, Damien Sandras

Ekiga 2.00 was released 2 weeks ago and the release went fine and was successful. However, after 5
years of work on the project, I begin feeling tired of it. Developing an Open Source project
means making people happy, but it also means offering your time for free, and a big part of the users
does not understand that. I am talking about those who criticized the new name, but were away when I
asked for propositions of names which did not exist yet. I am also talking about those who are asking
for new features, after 1 year of work on SIP, just like if we were paid to do this.

All those things make sick of Open Source development, so I decided to stop developing Open Source
software and only work for money. Yes, I have to live, I am now married, and I have a family to feed.

Ekiga 2.2 will have SIP presence features and will be downloadable for 100 dollars. However, those of
you who will susbscribe to the mailing list and show their support to the project will get a free
version of the 2.2 release.

This was an april fool's joke, as - I hope - most of you recognized.
This morning I saw Damien's announcement and tried one myself, with
luck in at least two cases ;-). Maybe it was a bit rough...

Nothing will change, except Ekiga will get even better, of course.

I take that chance to thank everybody who supported and supports Damien
with Ekiga - this project *is* the major VoIP softphone for Linux. And
everybody of you contributed his part. Thanks!
Also Damien: Thanks for Ekiga! And send me my cheque! ;-)

Stiff upper lip alltogether!
