F.A.Q. regarding a possible Pligg sale.

Last update: 2007/08/30

If you have a question you'd like answered or looking to invest in and/or purchase Pligg, please email ashdigg@gmail.com. thank you.

Q: What is happening with Pligg?
A: The core Pligg developers are finding it difficult to support Pligg, with both code updates and forum support. We are looking for an influx of money so that at least 2 of the 4 core developers can quit their day jobs (or at least go part time) to devote more time to Pligg. We have hundreds of great ideas for Pligg but not enough time. We decided that we needed to make some 'noise' to draw attention, so we went with the 'sale' angle. We are currently in talks with numerous investors / buyers. We will provide more details when we have them.

Q: If a sale takes place, what exactly would be sold?
A:

1) the domain Pligg.com
2) the Pligg.com forums / wiki (once the spam is removed)
3) SVN access to the Pligg code

Q: Are you selling the Pligg code?
A: No. We are not selling the Pligg 'code'. We are selling SVN access and the 'Pligg' brand name. A new owner would be able to continue to update the SVN and release new versions under the Pligg name.

Q: Will Pligg stay open source?
A: That is our intention. Absolute worst case scenario: A buyer changes to 'closed source'. There is nothing preventing another person from taking the latest Pligg code and renaming and releasing updates of their own, continuing with open source.

Q: Does Pligg intend on releasing further updates and new releases during the negotiations?
A: The SVN shows that updates to the 9.x line, which will soon be released as "Stable v1.0" are being added almost daily.

Q: What license will be used for Pligg 2.0?
A: We're looking at using this license.
