Corel to be bought by Vector Capitol

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the meet-the-new-boss dept.

mgeoffrey writes "Corel announced that Vector Capitol will acquire Corel by buying out all outstanding shares at $1.05 a share. They are buying 22,890,000 shares. Vector Capitol has published a full report." Looks like the natural continuation after Microsoft sold off their Corel holdings.

    These two programs seem to be the drunk floozies that get passed around at the frat party.

    How many different companies have owned these two again?

    Our government has sunk to new low levels. With this news, it looks like they've even sold or given our capitol buildings to private capitalists, and now these corporate robber-barons have set up shop in the former seats of government. I guess it's fitting, because they are running this country now.

    It looks like Corel has drawn to a conclusion.

    Logically, then, if someone wanted to kill the Free Software movement, they'd only have to free the Wordperfect source and then...
