I understand (I've been party to a couple of acquisitions personally, hence my concern) - I just wanted to verify what the position was...and also the fact that the Open Source version adds a bit of a twist to the whole thing. Yahoo! can't prevent a fork based on anything that has been open sourced. The question is how tight the people are locked down (yes, I know about enforcabilty of non-competes). Just hoping there's a way to mitigate the risk of Yahoo! being bad.
Bah, just noticed I haven't updated my .sig here. Moving :-) edit: ok, fixed now.
