Yeah this has me a little concerned, but only a little at this time. The only reason I'm not feeling any major anxiety yet is due to the ubiquity of Spring libraries/frameworks/products. They're everywhere used by thousands of companies, so it would be unlikely that this acquisition would have any dramatic changes for Spring. Perhaps a change in ownership or governance will occur, but hopefully there will be little or no impact.
