> Turborepo is a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases.

> Vercel, the well-funded front-end development platform from the team behind Next.js, today announced that it has acquired Turborepo, a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos, an increasingly popular way for organizing source code into a single repository that includes all of the necessary packages to build an application.




What does it mean that Vercel has "acquired" Turborepo?

Isn't Turborepo open source? How do you acquire open-source?


>How do you acquire open-source?

You buy the company that develops it (or the main fork at least) and provides support for it.


Im pretty sure the acquisition was mentioned already a few months back
