Mambo & Legal Threats

Open Source Spat Triggers Legal Threat

In an interview Thursday, Connolly said he contracted with one of Mambo's core programmers to write a proprietary module that plugs into Mambo, but that programmer contributed the modules to the open-source project against the terms of his contract.

The module, called Lead Story Block, is one of several features that make it easier to use Mambo to build Web sites that look like newspaper sites. Furthermore, which is part of software company Literati Group, is trying to start a business hosting such Web sites, Connolly said.

Should be interesting.

Why can't we all just be happy and share? Isn't that "Open Source"?
On the same note, why can't we overthrow Microsoft? Evility tis it be

I have been reading about Mambo and was wondering if it is as good as the reiviews say it is.... Reading some very good things about the software.... anybody using it ...

I have installed Mambo and futzed with it a little bit. It is very nice looking and the install was very smooth. However I have not done much else with it since then (3 weeks ago), I am also using Typo3 and while it has a nasty learning curve it serves my uses better.
Still, I had planned on using Mambo for my personal site and my wife really liked it so I know I will end up using it and it will be fine. If the site gets too complicated I think it could be a problem...
