We are just taking the rest of this years vacation days. We still had
a lot left. So it has been a little quiet. We haven't held anything
back, but not knowing what is going to happen kind of dampens the
motivation. So, CA support will still take some time. I doubt it will
be GPL, though.
As to the chances, I can't say anything because I don't know. AFAIK
management is talking to investors, but we will have to wait and see
how that turns out. There is an interview with our CEO at
