UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat Blogs, love em or hate em?

I've donated for all my copies of MT but after these drastic license changes and the pricing hike I'm done using MT. As far as I'm concerned SixApart can no longer be trusted. They've backpedaled a little over the past few days but it still isn't enough. It wasn't reasonable for them to even think about making the kinds of changes they first announced.... When most people started using MT, it was free for noncommercial use and there was never any hint of it being a "commercial product" or a money making venture and only TypePad was always supposed to be the profit wing of the company. Instead they tricked the blogging community into using it, developing addons, plugins, templates, and hacks and now that it has a huge user base and a lot of things developed for it they're going to pull a fast one and begin charging unreasonable fees. :rolleyes:

As soon as I have some time I'm going to switch all my sites that use MT, over to WordPress . Its free, open source, and just as feature rich. In addition, its released under GPL, so I'll never have to worry about being forced to pay ridiculous and arbitrary fees for features that should have simply been included in the first place.
