Someone educate me :)
How is Fog Creek allowed to do this after the sale of Trello to Atlassian? I would have expected some provision related to not releasing product/project management software for some period of time?
- GarethX 9y agoWe don't see Trello as a competitor at all, that's why we integrate with it, just like we do with GitHub or Slack. And we use them both together every day at Fog Creek.
- fingerprinter 9y agoThat's not really what I meant. What I really meant was that Manuscript very clearly does project management (it's even in the title of the site), which Trello did. I imagine that would be a 'no-no' in the Trello sale to Atlassian. Or is that not the case, contractually?
- aeorgnoieang 9y agoManuscript is basically FogBugz, which is a Fog Creek product that predates Trello, so there must have been some kind of allowance for Fog Creek to continue to sell it. It's possible I'm wrong, but I'd be extremely surprised if that was the case.
- krallja 9y agoTrello was spun off as an independent company in 2014. Fog Creek, Inc. was not a party to the Trello acquisition.
