elise writes: wow, congratulations ! I saw Ezra Zygmuntowicz is working for VMWare too - they're really hiring excellent hackers these days.
linde writes: as someone who benefits from your hard work on this cool project, many congrats to you. so impressed with how well and concisely you accomplished so much that was long over due. nice (in fact incredible) that vmware recognized that too. add me too to those on the thread saying, in boca al lupo!
antirez writes: @Alex: - No license changes planned at all! Also it is not possible to "undo" the BSD license (at max one can start releasing new versions under another license), but again, there is no plan about that. - As I said even if VMware will ever change idea about this (but again there are *no plans*) it can't effect past work. The BSD license is much better compared to the GPL about this, as it's already at the max level of freedom, so no future changes can affect what you can do with the old source code. Thanks for your question, Salvatore
Alex writes: Congratulations, Salvatore! A couple of questions though - is VMware becoming the owner of the project? Is any change for licensing is pending? ( Failed to find any other BSD license support by VMware within its other open source projects). - How long did it take for VMware to make a decision? Is it possible that they will 'correct' their mind a bit later, and change licence for the future releases? Thank you very much for your kind attention to this. And congratulations once again! To you and to VMware!

Randy writes: A big hat tip to VMWare for "getting it." For supporting open source... and more importantly, giving back to it. Most companies take consumption point of view and ignore everything that doesn't contribute to their bottom line. But sometimes, they surprise us. Sometimes, they do the right thing. And for that, I salute you VMWare. (Yes, I own one of your products.)
