Open Source: you're doing it wrong - the Pyjamas hijack

[Steven D'Aprano]

A.k.a. "we had to destroy the project in order to save it".

Seriously, this was a remarkably ham-fisted and foolish way to "resolve" 
a dispute over the direction of an open source project. That's the sort 
of thing that gives open source a bad reputation.

(The sad thing is, when closed source software developers do this sort of 
thing, it gets blamed on "bad apples"; when open source developers do it, 
it gets used as an indictment on the entire FOSS community.)
