Glyn Moody writes on Adobe's acquisition of Day:
"...Day's R&D team are strong contributors to the open source world, with a development model based on building true open source communities around key technology advancements that originate in Day R&D through the sponsorship of new projects via the Apache Software Foundation..."
"...Given that leading role there, news that Adobe is acquiring Day takes on an added significance..."
"...Adobe's acquisition of so much free software coding talent offers hope that some open source savvy will percolate through the company, turning Adobe into as much of an ally as Day was. However, the lack of any comment about continuing to support open source projects and the people who work on them at Day is worrying. If it does intend to allow its new staff to carry on as before, Adobe would be well-advised to make some public commitments to that effect..."
