I saw a claim on one thread that Ripple is now open source. I also saw a claim on the same thread that OpenWhateverTheirNameIs has reduced their XRP holdings from 50% to 25%.
I don't know whether to believe either claim.
Anyone? Where's JoelKatz when you need him? (I'd trust your reply, JoelKatz)
Ripple is now open source. Both the client and the server are available on Github. Opencoin is now Ripple Labs. We still hold a significant fraction of the XRP (over 70%), but our plan is to give away most of that, and that's what we've been doing. Ripple Labs has almost 30 employees working full time improving and promoting Ripple.
