Pat Thornton talks with Gary Kebbel about a possible future for EveryBlock's open-sourced code: "The Knight Foundation is working with advisers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to form a team to further development of EveryBlock and make it much easier for news organizations to set up the software on their sites, Kebbel said. Knight will work with several news organizations around the country to install EveryBlock for them. Once this additional development is completed, the new code will be released."

Pretty awesome: EveryBlock now allows you to draw your own neighborhood boundaries, rather than subscribing by zip code or municipality.

Mark Glaser gets an interview with Adrian, and gets him to answer one of the big questions that floated around when the sale of EveryBlock to MSNBC was announced: "Did you get interest in a buyout from newspaper companies? If so, why didn't they fit?" (His answer would spark some sort of hilarious meme if we were all just a bit geekier.)

The key to what EveryBlock and MSNBC can do with future development of the Knight-funded project: "First, the copyright holders always have the right to authorize release under new license terms. If all the copyright holders of Everyblock agree to it, they can give MSNBC permission to also distribute Everyblock (whether in code or binary form) under any other license."

- onemoreryan: Good grief, maybe @everyblock didn't WANT to be acquired by a newspaper co! Why would they? Even a chain limits locales. MSNBC offers scale.

Here's Mike Davidson of Newsvine -- acquired by MSNBC a ways back -- on the EveryBlock news: "The organizations that succeed in local news will be the ones who respect all of the great journalism and increasingly available data in cities and neighborhoods across the world while creating better ways for people to consume it."

Cory Bergman of LostRemote and MSNBC on the EveryBlock acquisition: "One of our first conversations will be how we can share EveryBlock data with local media partners. Our plan is not to compete with the local news ecosystem, but identify ways to reinforce it. After all, data complements coverage."
