F5 宣佈併購NGINX Inc. ，雙方的新聞稿都出來了：「F5 Acquires NGINX to Bridge NetOps & DevOps, Providing Customers with Consistent Application Services Across Every Environment 」、「NGINX to Join F5: Proud to Finish One Chapter and Excited to Start the Next 」。

SEATTLE and SAN FRANCISCO – F5 Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV) and NGINX today announced a definitive agreement under which F5 will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of privately held NGINX for a total enterprise value of approximately $670 million, subject to certain adjustments.

印象中 NGINX Inc. 的文章常常在批評 F5 這類 load balancer 太貴，現在是在演哪齣戲... 然後這不知道對 open source community 來說是不是好下場，也許如果真的發現風頭不對的話就會有人 fork？(AWS ？他們最近好像對這個議題頗敏感 XDDD)
