“On the 28th December I received a letter from VMware lawyers (delivered to my door in person, no less!) that I must immediately give up and transfer to VMware all administrative rights over the following things: The Vert.x github project, the Vert.x google group, the domain vertx.io and the Vert.x blog,” Tim Fox wrote in a post to the Vert.x Google Group on Tuesday.
To avoid litigation, Fox has duly transferred ownership of the Vert.x domain, blog, Google Group and github organisation page to VMware.
