Nextcloud has announced
the “acquisition” of the Roundcube webmail system.

As a product, Roundcube has an established path to success on its
own. With opportunities remaining to be explored, a direct merger
between Roundcube and Nextcloud is not planned. Neither will
Roundcube replace Nextcloud Mail or the other way around. The
products both have strengths and weaknesses and as open source
products they already do share some underlying libraries and tools,
but remain independent offerings for overlapping but different use
scenarios. Nextcloud Mail will evolve as it is, focused on being
used naturally within Nextcloud. Roundcube will continue to serve
its active and new users as a stand-alone secure mail client.
