UPDATED: Robotics Lab Willow Garage, Maker Of PR2, Not Shutting Down, But ?Changes Are Afoot?

Willow Garage PR2UPDATED: According to Willow Garage's blog, the company will not shut down, but change its funding model:
Willow Garage has decided to enter the world of commercial opportunities with an eye to becoming a self-sustaining company. This is an important change to our funding model. The success of the PR2 personal robot and of ROS will continue. There are close to 50 PR2 robots in the world and Willow Garage support of the platform will not diminish. And of course, ROS, as an open source platform, will continue independent of our business model choices. In addition to Willow Garage, its supporters include the Open Source Robotics Foundation and all the other contributors in the ROS community (academic, industrial and individual) who have made it the platform of choice for Robotics.
