Black Duck Software Inc. has acquired The Olliance Group LLC, a California-based consulting form that specializes in open source software for an undisclosed amount.
Joining Waltham-based Black Duck from Olliance will be founder Andrew Aitken and senior partner Greg Olsen. Aitken will serve as general manager of the Olliance Group business unit, which will be an independent unit that will remain in California.
The acquisition continues a purchasing trend for Black Duck. In November, Black Duck bought for an undisclosed amount SpikeSource, a software developer in the field of security vulnerability and application component identification. That gave Black Duck SpikeForge, Developer Community Forum and SpikeInsight, the company’s cloud-based tool for assessing security vulnerability and automating application component identification.
In October, Black Duck spent nearly $3 million to purchase pen-source online resource Ohloh.net. Black Duck added to the content on Ohloh some of its paid product, the Black Duck KnowledgeBase, a repository of information about open-source projects and software.
Black Duck makes software designed to help enterprise customers negotiate the world of free, open-source software offerings, analyzing code for compatibility with their existing systems.
