EMC reportedly buys SourceLabs, but for what purpose?

2 things of interest at SourceLabs:
1) "SourceLabs serves thousands of IT professionals with our patent-pending support technology"
2) "SourceLabs SASH 2.0 production release and subscription provide a dependable, open platform for rapid Java web application development."
EMC seems to have grand plans for The Cloud with their Decho ("Digital Echo") unit, first targeting Consumers (store photos, movies, etc. online) with an eye of that market bleeding into the Enterprise in the same way that Google develops their markets. Perhaps they wish to build a developer community and provide developer services, around Decho? Seems that VMware (which EMC owns) would be a key foundation to Decho.
