“Course management software company Blackboard has acquired the
two leading support companies behind their open source competitor
Moodle: NetSpot and Moodlerooms. The company has also hired one of
the founders of Sakai, another open source alternative to its own
commercial software platform.“Previously, the company has disbanded competitors it has
purchased or has integrated their solutions into its own software
stack, but that is not what says it plans for NetSpot and
Moodlerooms: Ray Henderson, president of the Blackboard teaching
and learning division, announced that the company will now start
offering commercial support for Moodle to complement its own
product offerings.”
