RE: Is JBA for sell?

I've heard that GEAC is for sale, not just JBA.

Many of you probably noticed that Geac is planning more cutbacks.

I'm wondering what anyone is hearing whether System 21 will stay with Geac
or have a new owner.  I would also be interested in comments (public or
private) from anyone that has gone through maintenance fee renewals after
being on one of JBA's famous 5 year prepaid maintenance deals where
maintenance "free" and the software "price" was increased.
