OwnCloud Statement concerning the formation of Nextcloud

Can anyone elaborate on said consequences? I fail to see how demoing your product in another country could have an adverse impact at home.

But this looks to be more complicated... ownCloud GmbH is unaffected? What was the purpose of having both companies then? There are many EU firms that seem to compete just fine without the Inc/LLC/Co at the end of their name

Yeah, that's super confusing to me as well. I see three different things here:

- nextCloud forking / poaching

- ownCloud having an event where they showed off new planned features

- the bank pulling the plug on financing

Since they're all talked about in the article, it seems as though they're related, but the links between them are really unclear.

I highly doubt that the planned features are related. Seems just to be a try to make the press release look less worse...

Disclaimer: I quit ownCloud to work now at Nextcloud.
