What happened to "Les Arbres Design" (FlexiContact)?

Post by Tormentor667 » Thu Jan 09, 2025 8:59 am

Dear members,

does anyone know what happened to FlexiContact and the developer from https://www.lesarbresdesign.info/ ? The page is down for a while now and contacting him via email doesn't work at all. Hope he is okay.

Best regards,
Torm

Ah damn, this is sad to hear - I hope he recovers!

This is the problem when people are the only responsible persons for a plugin. No one who can continue. I guess we need to switch the system then.

It's free software. Anyone can fork the extension and continue development.

Pro is a subscription plugin, so I doubt that anyone can fork it.

If it used a free license like GPL (mandatory for extensions listed on JED), it can be forked.

It has two versions, Free and Paid. Paid needs money, free does not.

His sites result in 404 - so I imagine all his sites are no longer available.

C'est la vie :(

It doesn't matter if it's paid or not. As long as it's released under a free software license like GPL, it can be modified and distributed.
