#2At least the community had the good sense to distribute under the GPL. Its harder to dump a community with that license, so they at least have a chance.

#3This is pretty serious! It appears that Nagios did some very underhanded things to gain control of that project.
The bigger concern is that the new maintainers have no reputation and no proven track recording quality, commitment, skills or experience on this project. I would not be happy accepting updates from them.

#4Reading through the mailing list thread announcing this, it's clear that Nagios was never really an open project to begin with. As far as the plugins site goes - they transferred domain ownership a couple of years ago. The plugins hosted on the site are compatible with Nagios and all it's forks.
This outcome and the way it happened should surprise no one.

#6monitoring-plugins is a good name. Not branded to any one company, and is a better destination for open-source development of monitoring plugins.
Anybody who really thought about it for a bit, must have known that Nagios LLC would eventually seize control of anything Nagios trademark related.

#10What alternatives to Nagios are out there? I've seen Icinga mentioned today, what else are people using?
