In January 2005, Danga Interactive was bought out by Six Apart, a blogging software company http://www.livejournal.com/users/news/82926.htmlhttp://www.sixapart.com/press/weblogging_software_leader_six_apar.shtml. Danga remains a legal entity of its own, albeit a division of Six Apart. Six Apart then renamed Danga Interactive (an Oregon corporation) to LiveJournal Inc. (a California corporation).
