My experience, having worked at 2 companies that were bought out in 2 different decades, is that anything the buyer says about its plans for the company and especially its plans for the employees should be taken as about an 80% probability of being baldfaced lies. For example, in one of the companies I worked for, the new CEO was making announcements to the press about how much the company valued its employees and valued its home office in the city where it was, while it had already started searching for office space in another city and hired a consulting firm full of Bobs to lay off as many employees as possible.
Now we begin to see why I think MuseScore is such an important project.
