Red Hat buys JBoss

In this press release Red Hat announces that it has bought JBoss for $350m, although only 40% of that is cash. There's another $70m promised, "subject to the achievement of certain future performance metrics".

Well that's one Larry can scratch off the shopping list. If it's true that Oracle were offering $500m for JBoss I wonder why Marc Fleury turned that down but accepted Red Hat's much lower offer a few weeks later.

Update


The Register, diligent as ever, has uncovered a cached version of blog post in which Marc Fleury says what he read thinks, or at least thought, about Red Hat.
