ActiveState Founder Steps Aside

Posted by chrisd on from the if-you-don't-know-perl-you-don't-know... dept.

Lumpish Scholar writes "ActiveState founder Dick Hardt has quit. Or, as the press release puts it, "ActiveState Expands Board & Founder Steps Aside." No reason for the resignation was given, unless you count, "The company is looking to become a $100 million company, and they're looking for someone ... that [sic.] has that experience." ActiveState (profitably!) distributes its own proprietary products, and also both free and commercially supported versions of Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl, and XSLT, having given back significantly to the free / Open Source communities associated with those languages."

    the original "that" is correct. I don't know why the [sic] was necessary. "Which" would be incorrect. I think "whom" is wrong also.
