For the last few years, the distributor Farnell owned CadSoft, publisher of the open-hardware favorite PCB development software EAGLE. They have sold that business to AutoDesk, the big mechanical CAD software company.
This has to be considered a good thing, as the product was pretty much languishing for the last few years.
NB: I'm not an EAGLE user, as I kinda hate the interface, and I'm quite happy with KiCad for personal projects. (We use Altium at the day job.)
