Yahoo buys... everything

What does "distrubute" mean in this context. It doesn't mean "own"
does it?

The sixapart crew is reaaaally cute. Have you read the blurb about
how it all got started? Great marketing. Great, because its probably
true….

(I'm a huge movable type fan)

Ahh! thanks reBlog:

December 13, 2005
Yahoo! Partners with Six Apart to Distribute Movable
Type<http://rss.weblogsinc.com/entry/1234000253072202/>

Yahoo! has agreed<http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051212/wr_nm/media_yahoo_blo=
gs_dc_1>to
provide Movable Type as the default blogging solution in its extensive
small-business suite of services. The other hand will get washed as parent
company Six Apart directs small-business traffic to Yahoo! for a complete
ISP/merchant/blogging package. There's nothing new about Web-hosting
accounts with Movable Type pre-installed; the Movable Type site has a
recommendation
page <http://www.sixapart.com/partners/current> for such services, to which
Yahoo! has not been added.

Of course, Yahoo! provides a newbie-friendly blogging experience with Yahoo!
360, which could possibly be interpreted as competition to the much more
established (and feature-rich) Blogger. But Six Apart's three platform
levels (Movable Type, TypePad, and Live Journal) cover all the bases and
could vault Yahoo! into a whole new position in the blogging wars.
