"While PostPath is the only Exchange challenger that has used reverse-engineering to challenge Microsoft, its approach may be adopted by other open source companies."
Makes it sound like PostPath is an open source company, which it isn't. A better way of putting it would be, "its approach may also be adopted by open source companies". Other things it isn't : significantly cheaper than Exchange. Their detailed price comparison is both enlightening and amusing.
Also I don't really see why the buyout of a proprietary software company by another proprietary company is particularly interesting.
Potentially misleading sentence in article
