Metasploit project acquired by Rapid7

Really surprised to hear the news that Metasploit project has been acquired by Rapid7. HD Moore, the creator of Metasploit will be joining Rapid 7 as a full time staff, Moore insists in a podcast with Risky.Biz that all core software developed by the new, full time team will remain free and open source.

Hopefully this is a good news in that he can spend more time to develop Metasploit into an even exciting product. This reminds me of the similar moves by Nessus - Tenabale and Snort - Sourcefire
