Indeed. And often doing it quietly—Optim, for example (the former Princeton Softech stuff) was unloaded on UNICOM a few years ago, with zero publicity. UNICOM owns it lock, stock, and barrel, it seems, but lets IBM keep selling it (for some of the revenue, I assume). Very weird. This JES3 deal makes more sense, I think (not that I know the details, I mean "on the face of it").
