[geeklog-devel] A lesson to learn from Mambo?

[Dirk Haun]

There's an interesting article on Slashdot about a dispute over a piece
of code in the Mambo CMS:

    http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/18/1348255

Apparently, one of the Mambo developers made a modification for a
customer (and was paid for it). Since he liked that feature, he re-
implemented (and extended) it and added it to the Mambo distribution. Now
the customer is p*ssed and threatens all the Mambo users(!) with lawsuits
and whatnot.

Even though the customer is obviously overreacting (and, it seems,
wrong), this is something those of us who are doing custom work on
Geeklog should be careful about.

Please, everbody, check with your customers before you add any custom
code to the Geeklog core.

bye, Dirk
