Dodgeball looked really cool and it's a pity that Google just let it languish - especially since social networking seems to be gravitating toward real-time, location based services.
Though it's a real shame to lose the dodgeball name. I've found that software projects take on a life of their own, and even if you fork or recreate it at some point with a different name you risk losing that original feel, though you also have the opportunity to create a new and unique feel for that software project too.
Does anyone else feel that even if this is not a contractual breach that it's an ethical one?<p>If he wanted to keep his company then he shouldn't have sold it.
