Right now a part of the GNHLUG web site runs a CMS package called PHP-Nuke. As the site proclaims, "PHP-Nuke is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL license." Cool, no problem.

The author of PHP-Nuke has a mixed track record from a free software/open source/GPL perspective. In the past, he's been accused of violating the GPL and swiping people's code without giving credit. How much of that is true, due to malice, due to ignorance, due to just trying to write a neat tool (etc.) I'll leave up to you to decide.

But according to this article <http://www.phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=5640&mode=nested&order=0&thold=0>, the PHP-Nuke author is now planning on making PHP-Nuke "closed source." Some people have raised GPL issues, others object just simply to the closed source idea.

IMHO, this is something that the leaders of GNHLUG ought to be aware of...
