That new fork of Nginx by one of the original maintainers is called FreeNginx. How're we pronouncing it?

Le fork de nginx, on a des infos sur d'autres développeurs qui auraient rejoint le projet ?
Parce que si le mec est tout seul, finalement j'ai l'impression que c'est beaucoup bruit pour pas grand chose..

#MaximDounin as one of the longtime core developers of the #Nginx web server announced the creation today of a new fork of the project called #Freenginx.

#MaximDounin decided to fork #Nginx follow a disagreement with #F5, the organization that acquired the #Nginx company in 2019. Dounin explained in announcing #Freenginx:

"As you probably know, #F5 closed #Moscow office in 2022, and I no longer work for #F5 since then. Still, we’ve reached an agreement that I will maintain my role in nginx development as a volunteer. And for almost two years I was working on improving #nginx and making it better for everyone, for free.

Unfortunately, some new non-technical management at #F5 recently decided that they know better how to run #OpenSource projects. In particular, they decided to interfere with security policy #nginx uses for years, ignoring both the policy and developers’ position.

That’s quite understandable: they own the project, and can do anything with it, including doing marketing-motivated actions, ignoring developers position and community. Still, this contradicts our agreement. And, more importantly, I no longer able to control which changes are made in nginx within #F5, and no longer see nginx as a free and #OpenSource project developed and maintained for the public good.

As such, starting from today, I will no longer participate in #nginx development as run by #F5. Instead, I’m starting an alternative project, which is going to be run by developers, and not corporate entities:

http://freenginx.org/

The goal is to keep nginx development free from arbitrary corporate actions. Help and contributions are welcome. Hope it will be beneficial for everyone."
