F5 buys rival to kill it
John E. Dunn writes on TechWorld.com:
F5 Networks has agreed to pay Watchfire an undisclosed sum for its Appshield application firewall purely to kill it in favour of its competing system, Trafficshield.
In an unusually honest admission, F5 Networks has indicated that it is unlikely to use any of the intellectual property associated with Appshield, and the purpose of the deal appears to be to kill it as a way of removing a competitor.
