This comes as no surprise, first they all but booted out the community around Freespire with some very enigmatic reasons.
Now we see why they were reluctanct to let the community set the direction of Freespire's development they had been negotiating for over a year and a half, and they knew good and well the community would never allow this to happen
So it is back to Winspire or Lindows Whatever they choose to be it will be without a community behind it.
