Why the BetFair blog shoud move from MovableType to WordPress — Edition #3,961

Posted on March 13, 2008 by Chris F. Masse

Matt Mullenweg has a post out comparing the 2 platforms and touting WordPress.

[...] WordPress is 100% open source, GPL. All plugins in the official directory are GPL or compatible, 100% open source. [...] WordPress MU is 100% open source, GPL, and if you wanted you could take it and build your own hosted platform like WordPress.com, like edublogs.org has with over 100,000 blogs. [...]

I have read with fascination all the comments there, on the original MT blog post, and else. I have spotted many webmasters explaining why and how they moved from MovableType to WordPress —but I have spotted none explaining why and how they moved from WordPress to MovableType.

    You must have missed them.  Mine’s up there.  Matt’s the reason why I moved over to MT and haven’t looked back.

    WordPress is not 100% GPL.  There’s a lot that they keep for themselves.
