IBM has announced the acquisition of Ounce Labs

IBM has announced the acquisition of Ounce Labs, a provider of enterprise source code security testing (http://www.scmagazineuk.com/IBM-announces-acquisition-of-Ounce-Labs/article/140881/).
Earlier (I think last year), they acquired AppScan and now Ounce Lab; although both provide slightly different capabilities (source code security vs. web application vulnerability) it seems that IBM wants either to eliminate the competition or to have a single leading product in application security space. Would be interesting to see how it plays out...
