Ten years ago, we found Compaq and HP merging to make a larger conglomerate. CNBC and MSN joined hands. Microsoft invested in Apple. Interestingly, nobody talks of Apple as a threat. Probably that is the power of inspiration it provides!
Whoever joins with whoever is always welcome if its a win-win (sans MS windoze) for all sides. Recently steel sector consolidated globally, we've seen Arcelor-Mittal. As FOSSouls, we all just wish that whenever M&A takes place, that must favor FOSSociety! At least I am looking forward to see RATIONAL ROSE, MATLAB and AUTOCAD as FOSS products someday.
