I believe they produced versions 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5 so that everyone could get what they wanted out of the software.
I don't know for sure, but I also believe that they had a level of success with these versions that allowed them to recoup the costs for buying the technology. After that, I think they split their time with other projects. At this point, I am very interested, excited even, about the prospect of an open-source future to the software. I, for one, would like to setup and manage my own branch of the software, incorporating various new and old technologies, and just generally supporting the software in a way I can't do today, both for my own hosting environment and for anyone who is interested. Like most everyone else, though, I am frustrated at the amount of time that the open-sourcing conversion and version 6 in general has been in development. I still make a living with the software, I still code in it everyday and still believe that the basic philosophy of Witango is viable. If I thought I could get anywhere with it, I might even offer to purchase the technology from them, last I heard, however, that was not something they were interested in. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

So, really they've only been back at it for 2 months. On top of it they were battling some legal issues with making it open-sourced and other bits of code. So, I'm guessing the if the lawyers were back at work 2 months ago, it may take some time to prepare and finally get a motion. I'm in the same boat and would like to hear something soon, but knowing how slow the wheel of justice turns, I doubt it will be in the near future.
