Yes, is somehow true. E-texteditor goes open source. Or something like that. From Alexander blog post i extracted this:
- The source will be made available in few days;
- Even though the source will be public, the software will not be.. free. Licensing code will not be public
- Yes, there will be (finally!) a linux version. Which will be free
I can only hope that the TEAM will work on three aspects: stability (a lot of bug fixes), speed (sometimes i encounter some “slow motion” when i open large files; also, on old computers will simply… won’t work) and networking (FTP client can be better than that). Also, a 64 bit version would be nice
Let’s wait and see the evolution of the new Open Company.

Intype is catching up with e-texteditor very fast and might overtake it.
The only thing is Intype seems to be a hobbyist type project while e-texteditor sounds like someone who wants to make good money while @ the same time a good product.
I think that is one of the reason e is going open source. I just hope he spreads the wealth to his contributors.
