    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Maxim Dounin 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.

    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.

    Unfortunately, some new non-technical management at F5 recently decided that they know better how to run open source projects.

    That’s quite understandable: they own the project, and can do anything with it, including doing marketing-motivated actions, ignoring developers position and community.

    The goal of the project is to keep nginx development free from arbitrary corporate actions."
