ムーバブルタイプ・オープンソース・プロジェクトMTOS
MT4.0のリリースと同時に発表されたシックスアパートによるMTOSはMT4.0をオープンソース化するもので、時期は今年第三四半期を予定している。オープンソース化はユーザーやコミュニティーの要望に応えたもので、MTの自由な改変や他のオープンソースソフトと組み合わせるといったことが可能になる。
The Movable Type Open Source Project was announced in conjunction with the launch of the Movable Type 4 Beta on June 5th, 2007. The MTOS Project is a community and Six Apart driven project that will produce an open souce version of the Movable Type Publishing Platform that will form the core of all other Movable Type products.

To understand why Six Apart is releasing an open source version of Movable Type, we need to briefly revisit its past. Movable Type was once the darling of the blogosphere, especially from its original launch in 2001 to about 2004. Since 2004/05, many bloggers have migrated to the open source Wordpress - and perhaps of more concern, a lot of third party developers transferred their efforts from MT to Wordpress.
