Movable Type now open source
December 12, 2007 | By Minic Rivera | Filed Under Blog Software, Bloggers, Blogging, News, WordPress
Movable Type Open Source (MTOS), Six Apart’s open source play, is now out in the open. Licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2, the blogging community then is allowed to freely modify, redistribute, and use Movable Type for anything they want. This is going to be all good for the blogging community with both major blog platforms now openly available to everyone. We can just wonder what the next move of Wordpress will be.
