Active State (just sold out) on free software

Active State it's a nice company, because they build Perl but not just because of it.

They were owned by Shopos (an antivir company) that had been sold out Active State to a Canadian venture capital. Althoug it's seems to me a little bit ... risky situation ... it cames with good news. News says Active State will keep on Open Source Roots.

I wanna remember here that Active State has a great perl documentation on-line, nice perl port, but also, their CEO has a blog where he explain this Active State spin out movement, and other tools like their IDE Komodo, IDE for Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
