I work for neither company but know people at both and think that this is highly inaccurate. Though there will be operational redundancy both companies make most of their revenue from support contracts and professional services since they provide a mostly FOSS product. Services and support are the two most heavily labor intensive parts of the tech industry every customer requires x amount of labor present. Additionally internal engineers paid to contribute to the FOSS products are still needed. Because both companies have been benifitting from the contributions of both teams of engineers for years. Since Horton has no closed source products it has very few redundant engineering resources.
