Crunching Nuvvo

I hadn't heard of Nuvvo, but now I have, I'm not surprised by this item from TechCrunch:

We wrote about Nuvvo, a brave startup taking on an open source competitor, last January. However, Nuvvo is now up for sale.

The "open source competitor" is Moodle, a course management system, which is one of the jewels in the free software crown.

As the TechCrunch headline puts it:

Fighting open source competiton may be foolish

Yup.
