How am I using it?
We haven’t commented on the furore about the latest MT3.0 licensing, but now users have been invited to respond. We here at signposts have one blog (plus a test blog for format changes, but I won’t count that). We are non-commercial, don’t want support, don’t want any of those other things, but we do not fall within the licensing criteria for the free blog for the simple reason that we have two authors. We would be willing to pay a fee to use the software, but the only thing we would need to do it for would be to get the multi-author capability - and $70 is too much for that benefit only. So for the moment we will be staying with this version.

AMEN!
I’m in the same boat. One blog, and I’ll support myself, thanks, but my wife and I both use it and we don’t want to share a userid because different people follow each of us.
What an oversight in their licensing plan. Sheesh. If they’d put up a $20 or less product that would handle one blog for two users, I’d mail them a check tomorrow. But for $69, I’ll move to Drupal or an equivalent.

As far as I can gather the 3.0 release doesn’t offer much in the way of new stuff anyway so if the earlier version still works for you you’re as well to stick with it. There really doesn’t seem to be much point in upgrading.

Yuck, that is an oversight. The blog I help run has four authors, and I was wondering if we’d be able to get the new version of MT… guess not. Oh well, what we have works for now.

It’s very interesting!
