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.

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.
