The story is a bit wrong about fusion. Not that it matters but it is being developed for Mac and Linux.
NAB 2015, Las Vegas, USA - April 13, 2015 - Blackmagic Design today announced Fusion 8, the world’s most advanced visual effects and motion graphics software, will be released on Mac OS X and Linux. I would think it might be in the interest of the big shops to form an LLC/Partnership/something To buy the foundry. Also I would imagine that last thing Autodesk wants is the power of Adobe development numbers put into Nuke or Modo. That could start an bidding war. Come on Disney, Pixar's Nuke sounds pretty nice.
