Which doesn't paint a rosy picture for the future of CUPS under Apple's 
ownership. A pity for CUPS now being de-facto for many distributions.

The same fate could await MySQL under its new owner, Sun Microsystems, 
despite their contributions to free/open source software. In that event 
we have a saviour on PostgreSQL, at least.

I applaud commercial contributions to free software but I can't help 
thinking that the acquisition of existing projects by commerce results 
in long-term damage to them - my opinion only.
