Apache Subversion To WANdisco, Inc: Get Real 85
kfogel writes "The Apache Subversion project has just had to remind one of its corporate contributors about the rules of the road. WANdisco, Inc was putting out some very odd press releases and blog posts, implying (among other things) that their company was in some sort of steering position in the open source project. Oops — that's not the Apache Way. The Apache Software Foundation has reminded them of how things work. Meanwhile, one of the founding developers of Subversion, Ben Collins-Sussman, has posted a considerably more caustic take on WANdisco's behavior."

Why don't you quit your Jive Talkin'?
WANdisco is simply focusing on Stayin' Alive in these difficult times.
So instead of making snide remarks, You Should Be Dancing in their Boogie Shoes!
And--did you ever think of this?--maybe their CEO Dave Richards has Night Fever from working in a Disco Inferno!
So if you're More Than a Woman, I ask: How Deep is Your Love for open source?
Now, my friend, is the time to step down from your Manhattan Skyline and spend a Night on Disco Mountain before you have a Calypso Breakdown!
(And maybe savor A Fifth of Beethoven while you're at it.)
And I do apologize for my ranting--I blame a relapse from Saturday Night Fever [wikipedia.org]

Nah, they're just going to develop it in a separate branch, and merge it to trunk when it's done.
