It is
a pure rumor, as posted by Slashdot.org Unsubstantiated-Rumor Dept. more

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           ÂÂ
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           ÂÂ
acquisition and it's corporate implications that they have decided to resign
from their
Sr.           ÂÂ
management (founding) positions. After the failed acquisition attempts with both
Linuxcare
and           ÂÂ
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           ÂÂ
actually generates more revenue.

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.
