It is a pure rumor, as posted by Slashdot.org Unsubstantiated-Rumor Dept.
more then that I do not know:
Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday November 10, @08:02AM EST
from the unsubstantiated-rumors dept.
Ok guys, this is purely a rumor, but its one that I've heard
from several points on the
globe so I'm gonna share it: Vulture Capitalist writes "I just
got out of a meeting with
Matthew Szulick and it appears as though Red Hat has inked a
deal to buy Cygnus.
In related news- we also understand that some people at Red Hat
were so upset with the
acquisition and it's corporate implications that they have
decided to resign from their Sr.
management (founding) positions. After the failed acquisition
attempts with both Linuxcare and
TurboLinux- this should prove to be a very interesting deal. I'm
personally looking forward to the
annual report! " Again, none of this is any more than rumor, but
I've caught wind of it from several spots
so I figure its worth sharing. What's interesting is that Cygnus
has more employees then Red Hat, and
actually generates more revenue.

Subject: Fw: Red Hat buying Cygnus?
This may be a rumor and I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this list,
but does anyone know how the purchase of Cygnus by Red Hat Software will
affect cygwin development? I don't have a link to more info, sorry. I saw
this on Slashdot.org.
