    See this blog for details. Short answers to your three questions:

    • The biggest impact to PhoneGap developers should be the proposed name change to Apache Callback
    • PhoneGap will remain open source. Since it was MIT licensed, it would be impossible to close it. Adobe and Nitobi announced that PhoneGap will be open sourced at the Apache Foundation under the name Apache Callback
    • Even though Nitobi started PhoneGap, much of PhoneGap development has recently come from other companies. For example, IBM makes most of the Android contributions. The acquisition will allow the former Nitobi employees to contribute even more to PhoneGap since they will no longer need to find consulting gigs.
