On their Web front page, there is a announcement "Progress Software Acquires
DataDirect Technologies" and links, including this one:

David,

Looking in DataDirect history from their web site at page :
http://www.datadirect.com/aboutus/history/index.ssp
shows that the company is still an independant company, and has not been
purchased by Progress Software.
Though, as quoted in their "Strategic Partnership" at page :
http://www.datadirect.com/aboutus/strategicpart/index.ssp
they demonstrate that many database and database management solutions
vendors such as Progress Software and IBM (for Websphere and Websphere MQ)
are embedding the DataDirect products into their products.
The interesting point is that they are the ONLY licensed by Microsoft to
have access to the source code and developments Microsoft does around ODBC,
so they can port to UNIX and Linux the ODBC drivers developped by
Microsoft.
