Late last week rumors surrounding the acquisition of FreeSWITCH by Barracuda Networks through the open source telephony community like a California wild fire.
The only problem was they weren’t true.
What started as a speculative post by one open source proponent on Wednesday of last week, mushroomed over night, leading to a series of blog posts, forum chatter and tweets on Thursday and the early part of Friday morning.
Suspecting that something was not right, since Barracuda Networks doesn’t seem like a “fit” (and as a media sponsor of FreeSWITCH’s ClueCon developers conference, we figured we’d get a heads up), the VoIP Insider reached out to Anthony Minessale (the owner of FreeSWITCH) for comment.
In a breif email exchange, Anthony explained that FreeSWITCH had not been acquired by Barracuda Networks and that the whole rumor has its roots in the fact that a few months back Anthony took a position at Barracuda.
Good enough for us.
I guess you can chalk this whole thing up to a case of someone reading too in between the lines and others not reading close enough.
