These include the release of Ingres and KGEM (Kernel Generalized Event Management) under an open source license, the introduction of a document management solution that uses the Plone Engine, and collaborations with JBoss and Zope.

Just goes to show my ignorance: I thought CA would be the second to last company in the world to endorse open source (just in front of Microsoft). Now they've come out with one of the most open-source buzzword-compliant press releases since Novell. I guess like so many other corporations they're feeling the pinch.

This news is good to hear.

Yeah it's great proprietary companies are beginning to realize the value and benefits of
open source. However and just ask IBM, just because a company makes their code GPL
does not always mean it will be adopted/integrated into the kernel.
