You may already be aware, but it’s no longer owned by ROLI, they sold it to PACE who it seems are investing in it more heavily

It's the first I'd heard about it, apparently it happened in April 2020.

Kinda weird that PACE works with intellectual property and licensing, and not in audio software development themselves.

As PACE’s tools are used by a large number of world-class audio software publishers the company understands the importance of JUCE as a foundational piece of industry software infrastructure.

A lot of their customers use JUCE, so there is a connection even if not very strong.

What is also good (in my opinion) is that they are not a big player of the audio software. If JUCE had been acquired by, for example, Steinberg, I would be very worried.

it’s not about investing heavily into it but about deciding what it should be and not be, and where to focus resources.
