JUCE changes ownership

I'm aware JUCE is a bit of a contentious subject here, and probably this sale won't make it any less of one.

Re: JUCE changes ownership
Doesn't sound great but we just have to see what happens. At least JUCE is GNU GPL licensed so most of us free software developers won't be too affected (for a while anyway).

Re: JUCE changes ownership
I am wondering if the malware part ("Licensing", "iLok") is Open Source and GPL, too.

Re: JUCE changes ownership
I think PACE is unlikely to push for that, more like they'd want to close down JUCE.

Re: JUCE changes ownership
It seems ROLI is in some trouble. JUCE is not the only thing they're selling:

Re: JUCE changes ownership
What would they gain by that?
less developers using Juce? Less plugins that "need" licensing?
