Obviously they see RC as a superior product that can endanger their 
commercial product sales. IMHO, they want to easily upgrade their 
product to the modern technologies and eliminate a competitor.

I can recall several successful OpenSource products that were bought out 
in what appeared at first a beneficial merger and are now collecting 
dust somewhere on the shelf.

Just my 2 cents in,
