Medsphere--total open source chaos?
I hadn't seen anything about Medsphere's bizarro open source issues that are going on but it seems that the company is suing its two founders, the Shreeve brothers, and trying to take back its open source release by accusing those who downloaded it from Sourceforge of racketeering. Wow.
Seems like a lot of confusion about the business of OSS but this whole thing is nuts. Larry can't be pleased.
