Subject mostly states it. If SugarCRM 7CE and probably all coming versions after that will not be released, what is going to happen to SuiteCRM core?
"SugarCRM provided a community edition, Sugar CE, previously known as Sugar Open Source. It was available free of charge alongside paid editions until version 6.5.
In 2013, Sugar version 7 was announced but was only released in Sugar’s hosted paid environment. No update to the community edition was announced with it. SugarCRM’s community support team have stated that 7.0 will not be available in a community edition, and that no release date for an updated community edition was known. After that SugarCRM released a notice saying that they “have no plans” to release 7 to Open Source."
We don’t need SugarCRM updates, we can do it ourselves, we have all the code.
The “SugarCRM core” is now simply the “SuiteCRM core”. If Sugar does security updates, we’ll have a look, and merge them into the code if we haven’t solved that problem ourselves before. But if we need to update for some reason of our own, we just go ahead and do it.
