The point here is that although Actuate initiated the project the open source community will develop a business reporting tool from scratch. And although Actuate will contribute software engineers it's the fact that they seem to realise that there products aren't that great (otherwise they would have had a name and been a major player like Cognos and BO) that they seem to believe that this will be there only chance of survival.

So to sum up ... actuate can't afford to write another tool ... they need to survive ... hence use open source to develop a new application for them that they can profit from.
