Oracle plays hardball with Euro regulators
,----[ Quote ]
| Oracle remains confident that the European
| Union will cave in and abandon objections to

IBM, Oracle, Open Source: Mixed Motives Abound
,----[ Quote ]
| The Oracle/European Union drama never stops.
| Now IBM's stuck their collective necks into
| the fray and said that Oracle's acquisition
| of Sun should go through if they make some
| positive open source gestures to all
| parties. Meaning what exactly, though?

Ellison: No MySQL spin off
,----[ Quote ]
| Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, has made it clear that he is
| not prepared to spin off Sun's MySQL business in an attempt
| to placate the European Commission investigation of
| competition issues with Oracle's planned acquisition of
| Sun. The deal has already been approved by US authorities
| and Ellison thinks that the European Commission will follow
| saying "I think once they do their job, they're going to
| come to the same conclusion".
