David Wood announced in his blog that US Defense contractor Northrop Grumman has purchased the IP of of Tucana Technologies, which includes the Tucana Knowledge Server (TKS). Wood was the CTO and co-founder of Tucana, which had ceased operations in the last week of December 2004. He reports that Northrup will continue to develop TKS and also to support Kowari, the open sourced, scalable RDF database.
