Redbrick folds, Fading Suns reverts to IP owners, FASA?

So the gist is this:
Holistic Designs is the owner of the IP for Fading Suns. They decided to get out of direct publishing as the owners are also staff writers for the White Wolf lines (Vampire, Werewolf, etc). They licensed the IP to Redbrick to continue the tabletop game, and obviously licensed Noble Armada to Mongoose.
Redbrick has decided to close up shop, and the IPs are thus reverting back to the owners. This means that games like Earthdawn are back in the hands of FASA (which never actually folded, existing as a holding company and IP licensing concern for their properties). But the big surprise? FASA has picked up the license for the RPG! So does this mean FASA is coming back into the RPG/Gaming world? Announcement is coming soon, but the news broke when Redbrick apparently was seen sharing a booth with FASA (which of course hasn't been active in the gaming community for over 12 years...). Apparently FASA will have a press release in the near future. Now I'm off to the CBT boards and see what else I can dig up!
