Bravo to VMWare for doing the right thing in the end.

  Were they ever doing the wrong thing? The idea that the IP and full control of the project could just walk over to Redhat with the developer when he took a new job to work on it there after VMware initially funded it all seems incredibly naive at best.

    It's open source, though. Another company paying the developer to work on an open source project instead of your own paying isn't exactly a bad thing.

    When VMware said that Tim Fox couldn't be in control any more but they didn't name anyone else to lead the project, one possible interpretation was that the project would have no official leader at all. VMware could have avoided that confusion.
