SWCMS caught again

It's been a while since I've posted about the group of people that got together and decided to take an open source project, rename it and call it their own. Even solicit donations from people for code they are not responsible for. 

Today they posted their ROADMAP or I should say BackMAP because they still are stealing code and ideas from the popular content management system Pligg. 

Social Web CMS which uses the blog SocialWebCMS as it's mouth piece. Reported more lies today when it posted a piece about how they are going to go forward with the project. It just so happens that Pligg already went the same direction a few days ago. Now Social Web CMS and SocialCMSBuzz  have both accused the Pligg Project of taking ideas and (open source code) from them in the past. We've already proven this to be false. They are nothing but a group of liars. 

Pligg added roughly 60+ module hooks to their software. Making it much easier for developers to create and add features to the system. This was days ago. Now today SWCMS has decided to do the same thing. Yet they are the ones screaming copyright infringement. (Even though both are GPL) 

SWCMS or Social Web CMS is nothing more than a bunch of unorganized kids attempting to clone a larger group of people's hard work.  There is nothing original. The road map they released tonight proves it. 

My recommendation is to stick with Pligg. SWCMS will try and tell you that pligg is not even in development anymore. This is another lie. Pligg even had a twitter feed which tells you all aspects of development. Available from http://twitter.com/pligg  Believe me. It's several times a day. Not like these rip off artists over at socialcmsbuzz, ydac, swcms, or what ever they are calling themselves this week.
