Is it even clear it is an acquihire rather than the more boring “company hires maintainer of code it uses”?

It looks a bit more complicated, in that the announcement mentions the open sourcing of some proprietary tech. So it looks like there was some IP bought, along with the hires.

But it does look to be a 90% "company hires maintainer of code it uses."
