ownCloud becomes part of Kiteworks - Feddit.it
I guess that means it’s dead, as there’s no way a corporation would pay millions
to acquire a competitor just to continue developing a free alternative to their
own product
Ooooor it will become a free vs corporate solution like RedHat and the likes do.
Portainer also does it for example. I think LDAP-Auth is paywalled but it makes sense that features like that are.
It might be, but in the history of that corp, they never had a free/community/oss project. It looks like the typical Embrace Extend Extinguish strategy, where you acquire competitors just to get their customer base instead of the real product. OC 10 it’s already dead (no php 8 support) and ocis has almost no plugins.
