Yes. Several years ago Activity Central and OLPC Australia partnered to develop Dextrose. For marketing purposes OLPC-AU then re-branded Dextrose as XO System. During the recent restructuring at OLPC-AU decided not to continue the partnership.
I suggested and fully support this decision. AC's purpose is to help deployments who chose not to emphasize building internal development capacity. If/when they are confidant with their own development capacity there is _zero_lock_in_ on a the side of AC or Dextrose. All of Dextrose code and graphics is freely reusable. We are here if you need us. Best wishes to all on a successful XO System rollout.
