The sale of CCA that I am remembering was *much* earlier than
when the wikipedia says Rocket bought CCA. I remember a founding
CCA employee getting money when the company was sold.
CCA could have been acquired and then acquired again;
maybe a Canadian parent company sold it to Rocket.

That would make sense.

Would your memory of first-sale possibly be around 1988, when O'Neil
was successfully recruited to found UMB's CS Dept ?)

CCA is still around, you know. Bloomberg says they moved out to
Newton and appear to have merged operations with Rocket. I don't
recognize the names of any of the current officers.

Rocket bought them in 2010. Dunno if they were bought and sold before that.
