If you count MetaKernel as a Sparcom / da Vinci product, then most of it ended up in the 49g+.

Side note: Their EE*Pro and ME*Pro products were ported to the TI-92 Plus, Voyage 200, TI-89, and TI-89 Titanium.

Well, I guess you can call mk a Sparcom product, but not really, if you know what I mean...

Other than that, no, none of the other Sparcom applications were ever included in subsequent machines, but they were all probably too deep into application areas for inclusion in the mainframe, and too complex to just throw into a free add-on library, and all to say nothing of the complexities and cost of licensing 3rd party s/w, which HP only did very rarely (with mk being a hugely important exception).
