Dave and I have been hearing rumours (coming out of JISC) that we're going to commercialise Elgg. We would like to state, for the record, that Elgg will always be free and open source. This is a core component of our ethos and business model, and will never change.

Additionally, we would appreciate it if you could pass any material that states otherwise to us, so we can take appropriate action. Thanks.
