MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Maxim Dounin as one of the longtime core developers of the Nginx web server announced the creation today of a new fork of the project called Freenginx.
Dounin explained in announcing Freenginx: "As you probably know, F5 closed Moscow office in 2022, and I no longer work for F5 since then.
Still, we’ve reached an agreement that I will maintain my role in nginx development as a volunteer.
Unfortunately, some new non-technical management at F5 recently decided that they know better how to run open source projects.
That’s quite understandable: they own the project, and can do anything with it, including doing marketing-motivated actions, ignoring developers position and community.
The goal of the project is to keep nginx development free from arbitrary corporate actions."
