You know, I'm kinda pissed. I've been TRYING to be really nice to @Sangoma after they fucked me over, but I just discovered they're trying to retcon me out of existence with #FreePBX - it's not like I wouldn't NOTICE, so it's obvious this is a deliberate, and malicious act.
And it's not just me. A bunch of blogposts from various people that were integral to the project over the last 15 odd years have been deleted. They're deliberately trying to erase the past. The only common factor is that the blog posts that were erased were all ...
by people (such as myself) that are very pro Open-Source software. Well, I made that choice when I relinquished control of #FreePBX all those years ago. At the time, I relinquished it to someone I trust (and still do!), and he then sold it to a company,
and that company transferred it, and it was bought and sold, and ... now look where we are. One single company has the ability to shut down #FreePBX and destroy all my #GPL hard work. But that's not going to happen. The only way a company can 'close' a GPL project
is by updating the licence, and then adding new stuff that people want under the new licence, and making them pay for that. To combat that, the open source community has to fork the project, and add BETTER stuff to the open source fork. Can you guess what I'm going to do?
