So this took ages to finalize but CUPS today announced they have been purchased by Apple. Apple has also hired CUPS author Michael Sweet to continue work.
In February of 2007, Apple Inc. acquired ownership the CUPS source code and hired me (Michael R Sweet), the creator of CUPS. CUPS will still be released under the existing GPL2/LGPL2 licensing terms, and I will continue to develop and support CUPS at Apple.
