EU Commission Approves Oracle-Sun Deal With No Conditions
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm very grateful, personally, that the EU
| Commission cares about Open Source, but after
| its extensive investigation into MySQL,
| despite some misinformation, as I viewed it,
| it found, "The Commission's in-depth
| investigation showed that although MySQL and
| Oracle compete in certain parts of the
| database market, they are not close
| competitors in others, such as the high-end
| segment." That is true.
