前回の記事に有るようにCyanogen Incはnightlyビルドの提供などのインフラの提供を終了するようです。
意訳
自分たちでインフラを整えCyanogenMod OSとして継続する事も可能ですがCyanogen IncにCyanogenのブランドイメージを低くされたのでCyanogenMod OSとしては継続しないことに決定したみたいです。さらにCyanogenのブランドが第三者に売却される可能性も考慮したそうです。多分知的財産権の紛争を警戒していると言う事だと思います。
また理由の1つとしてCyanogenModチームによるとCyanogen OSとCyanogenMod OSが違うものだとはっきり示すためと言うのも有りLineage OSへフォーク(改名)する事に決まったようです。今のところ変更点はOSの名前の変更のみで内容的には変わりは無いようです。
決定打となったのはCyanogen Incの最近の行動だと書いて有ります。
噂では以前からLineage OSまたはLineage Android Distributionに改名するのでは無いかと言われていたようです。
最後にはさようならありがとうと綴られています。
原文
Last week, we released the final CM-13.0 releases, updated to the latest security patches, in anticipation of what follows.
Yesterday, Cyanogen Inc (Cyngn) announced that they were shutting down the infrastructure behind CyanogenMod (CM). This is an action that was not unpredictable given the public departure of Kondik (cyanogen himself) from the company, and with him our last remaining advocate inside Cyngn’s leadership.
In addition to infrastructure being retired, we in the CM community have lost our voice in the future direction of CM – the brand could be sold to a third party entity as it was an asset that Kondik risked to start his business and dream. Even if we were to regroup and rebuild our own infrastructure, continuing development of CM would mean to operate with the threat of sale of the brand looming over our heads. Then there is the stigma that has grown to be attached to anything named ‘Cyanogen’. Many of you reading this have been champions of clarifying that the CM product and CyngnOS were distinct, yet the stain of many PR actions from Cyngn is a hard one to remove from CM. Given CM’s reliance on Cyngn for monetary support and the shared source base, it’s not hard to understand why the confusion remains.
It will come as no surprise that this most recent action from Cyngn is definitely a death blow for CyanogenMod.
However, CM has always been more than the name and more than the infrastructure. CM has been a success based on the spirit, ingenuity and effort of its individual contributors – back when it was Kondik in his home, to the now thousands of contributors past and present.
Embracing that spirit, we the community of developers, designers, device maintainers and translators have taken the steps necessary to produce a fork of the CM source code and pending patches. This is more than just a ‘rebrand’. This fork will return to the grassroots community effort that used to define CM while maintaining the professional quality and reliability you have come to expect more recently.
CM has served the community well over its 8 long years. It has been our home, bringing together friends from all over the world to celebrate our joy of building and giving. Its apt then that on this Eve of a holiday we pay our respects. We will take pride in our Lineage as we move forward and continue to build on its legacy.
Thank you & Goodbye,
The CyanogenMod Team
