So, yes, Cyanogen isn't dead. The name is just changing. Glad we finally got that straight.

Not just the name - the biggest issue is they're losing the infrastructure, and infrastructure is expensive.
You mean Cyanogenmod.
Cyanogen is the company that parted ways.

...yes.
Hope they learned their lesson and don't sell the name of the open source project out from under it again.

Plenty of people have had to learn that lesson on various projects, time and again. Why stop now?

Could you expand on this "selling the name" bit?
How does that work?
The CyanogenMod open-source project somewhat lended their name to the Cyanogen company.
