This sort of thing happens across industries and is a warning to entrepreneurs of all stripes. How many tech startups have been purchased by a Yahoo, MS or Google just to see all their work scrapped at some point? I like to believe that many people build a business not for the exit but because they believe in building something. That's the whole hacker ethos. It's sad to see and a warning.
