Is WordPress the new home for Movable Type Refugees?

The web is buzzing with information, rants, and raves concerning the release of pricing and licensing for MovableType 3.0.

Mena Trott, co-founder of Six Apart,the company behind the Movable Type and TypePad weblogging systems/services, has addressed some of these concerns today.

In The Valley has yet to determine what course of action it will take concerning its 3 active MovableType Weblogs: In The Faith , Anthony K. Valley — Chronicle , and Anthony’s Rank Amateur Photography . These decisions do not need to be made in record time as we have not planned to upgrade from version 2.661 to 3.0 upon release.

MT’s new restrictions on the number of active authors and blogs will force some bloggers to retool, the first name spoken in the wind has been WordPress , the second is TextPattern .

Textpattern currently powers two additional sites of mine, however, WordPress with its GPL license is looking mighty fine.

None the less, I have no need to flee from MovableType at this time.
