National Semiconductor is the primary investor/owner of Foveon, they
do say that hasn't changed, but they don't say that Foveon themselves
won't now be linked with Kodak.

to quote one paragraph from the article you referenced:

"National maintains an investor and business relationship with Foveon, Inc., a privately
held company which patented the Foveon X3 direct image sensor. The transaction with Kodak
does not include any of National's ownership interest in Foveon or related intellectual
property. "

So georgette ... Stigma is "safe" in their supply of the dreaded Fovion sensor ...

all 1.5 megaPixels of it.
