Viewing all this through the looking glass, it seems to me that we have just witnessed the largest reverse takeover of a community brand name by a commercial organisation in corporate IT history see the release containing: -

"Autodesk plans to offer a commercial version of the product called Autodesk MapServer Enterprise in 2006, as well as an authoring environment which handles geospatial data collection and preparation of the data for distribution via the Internet."

Takeover cost? Nix
Brilliant!

Next move: Leverage the logo - keep the Platypus out of it!
