What about http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/lab-23.07.01-004/ :

  Fusion von GMD und Fraunhofer endgültig vollzogen

  Die zunächst umstrittene Verschmelzung der GMD mit der Fraunhofer
  Gesellschaft ist jetzt rechtlich abgeschlossen. "Alle Rechte und
  Pflichten der früheren GMD sind auf die Fraunhofer Gesellschaft als
  Rechtsnachfolgerin übergegangen", heißt es in einer
  Mitteilung. Nachdem die GMD zunächst in eine Kommanditgesellschaft
  umgewandelt worden war, übernahm Fraunhofer sämtliche Anteile.

[Fusion of GMD and Fraunhofer finally settled.  Fraunhofer has
 entirely taken over the former GMD]

At least all the folks I know and that are quite some.

Jörg, I didn't want to publish your name because we had a private
conversation.  I could try to write up a memory protocol about this
but your statements are too ridiculous to spend any more time on them.

Ciao,
