Ah they didn't. I went to work for them after I was let go by Basho in January, but have since moved on to general contract work on Riak. I am lucky enough to remain in contact with the people at bet365. My take, for what it is worth, is that this is a very generous gesture from bet365 and it helps the whole community. bet365 really hide their light under a bushel in terms of how big a UK technology success story they are. I'm looking forward to working on the newly open sourced replication code.
