During the last days the word Furthermore.com went through several forums. Brian Connolly from Furthermore.com claims the copyright for some codesnippets from the frontpage component of Mambo 4.5. Connolly tries to threaten the Mambo community with this statement, but couldn't proof this yet.

To calm down the Mambo users, the Development Team published a small clarification about the Furthermoore case on the official website today. The most important state from the Development Team is the fact, that the code Connolly claims was build up on GPL code and therefore also only can be GPL code. The full news can be found here:

• Official statement regarding Furthermore.com

So, there is no need to worry about this case. Sadly Connolly does not understand the GPL right and still tries to threaten people. Today he also spammed Mambers.com with his weird statements and we had to ban him and delete his thread. His only comment was the following:

"Arthur,

Castley lied. By defending him, by not letting me defend myself, you’re a scummy bastard, too. Made you angry? Fuck you!

Brian"

As you can see at Brians answer, he is not able to deliver any proofments and his only weapon is to insult people. As I still want to stay fair, I give you the URL and the email of Connolly, so you can read his statement on his website or ask him personally:
