RE: Red Hat buying Cygnus?


 
It is a pure rumor, as posted by Slashdot.org Unsubstantiated-Rumor Dept.  more then that I do not know:

            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.

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.
