Former F5 Developer Launches freenginx.org for Independent Nginx Development

Maxim Dounin, a former developer at F5, announced the launch of freenginx.org as an alternative project to maintain the development of nginx independently from corporate influence. This decision follows disagreements with F5's management over security policies and a shift away from the project's original open source ethos. The goal of freenginx.org is to ensure that nginx development remains free from arbitrary corporate actions, welcoming help and contributions from the community.
