Well ... they spent their own money to develop it and will release it under the PHP license tonight. That doesn't sound like a "dirty takeover" to me. I think Facebook has long been a supporter of PHP.
I agree with Arborint. In my opinion it's darn nice of them to give it to everyone now that they've finished.

I personally am stoked about this.

OTOH, it makes things tough as I've been also looking forward to learning Go. I only have so much time to play around you know. :wink:

It sounds like they are getting closer:
