the shakedown as I understand it:
google acquires appjet (and with it etherpad)
google decides to shut down etherpad (because obviously wave is better). Old pads will remain online/editable, new pad creation is verboten
community raises a rather large fuss (they disagree that wave is better).
google responds by re-enabling all functionality of etherpad, begins process of open-sourcing the code.
Far from the mess it could have been.
