It seemed that this acquisition came out of the blue, but I for one am very happy about it. Folks at my former employer are also quite happy about this news. Considering that they have a contract with both RedHat and JBoss, this should make life a little easier. I shudder to think about what life may have been like with a company like Oracle in charge. It will be interesting to see how this story unfolds.

P.S.

Max, is this good enough?
