Shellerific, the first UNIX shell to allow drag-and-drop CSS customization for open-source platforms announced that it is currently refocusing efforts on its exit after user adoption rates were questioned heavily by big parties in the blogosphere.

The software, which is only available for Ubuntu and FreeBSD has struggled for months to monetize their proprietary technology from within the open source community.

The software is available from the Shellerific download store for a monthly license of $4.95 and digitally signed exclusivity agreement in which the end user is required by law to uninstall their other more boring UNIX shells.  The software is published under a proprietary software license.

Turns out this business model hasn’t seen the adoption rates from the Open Source and Linux communities Shellerific had anticipated, so our sources tell us they are looking to shell out (no pun intended) their IP to the highest bidder by end of day today.

Our thoughts?  These penguin humping douchebags need to get with the program.  Don’t they know that there’s nothing in the world that screams “Open Source!” like millions and millions of dollars?
