I have read thru various posts and flames etc around Licensing of Paint.net and how the code is being managed. Would it not be better if Paint.Net moves to CodePlex and becomes truly a community driven tool?
Paint.NET isn't a community development project. It's my project.
I think you're over-perceiving the licensing "flames" around Paint.NET. The only people who had any complaint about it were Slashdot readers who don't even use the program. I do not believe Paint.NET would benefit from moving to a community-driven tool in the way that you suggest.
