The creators of Movable Type are given a roasting over their license agreement. Any "commercial" use of Movable Type requires a $150 license; and the creators have recently asserted that this includes anything other than playing around with it at home; i.e., if you install it for a friend, you're using it for "commercial" purposes. Collectivist parasites and second-handers beware; Ben and Mena (and their army of lawyers) are coming to get you! (via Gulfstream)

Hmm... If MT don't fix up their attitude (given they've gotten VC funding recently they mightn't...) it should be fairly trivial to spit MT pages out in a format Blosxom or similar likes. It'll break all the permalinks, but, oh, I can use Apache's mod_rewrite.to handle the redirects..
