So this is part of Pyjamas, which has been around for quite awhile. However, seems 2012 has been interesting. From the Wikipedia entry:
On May 2 2012 the leadership roles of the project came into question [8]. Prior to May 2 2012 Leighton acted as project lead, and operated the project according to free software principles. After taking control of the pyjs.org domain name and copying the mailing list data without members' permission, a group of developers critical of the leadership methods of Leighton effectively outed him from his role by transferring the project to non-free resources. Talks were held with the Python Software Foundation to have the project transferred to and run by the PSF, but the talks stalled after the PSF learned that, in direct violation of the UK Data Protection Act 1998, the mailing list data had been copied without Leighton's permission or knowledge, and without the consent of or consultation with any of its members. The pyjamas project is the first Free Software Project ever to have been hijacked, rather than forked.
