There's obviously more to this story, as there is a corresponding blog post from F5 posted today as well:

So what exactly is going on here? Anybody been closely following what's been happening and could sum up?

As often with posts like these there is also a hackernews post. Mostly speculation there as well but it seems like they didn't agree with CVE classifications for experimental features.

I wonder if this will open the door to commercial nginx features being cloned and added to the free nginx.

I’m thinking specifically of the adaptive bitrate stuff for VOD.

I don't see why not. Provided its a new implementation of said feature.
