Sun and Oracle's impact on open source acquisitions
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, vendors that fit into both the open
| source and cloud-related categories will be
| among the most attractive targets. And truth be
| told, a startup in 2010 is more than likely to
| use open source to drive developer adoption and
| monetize that adoption in the cloud. As a
| result, it'll become increasingly difficult to
| distinguish an open source vendor from a cloud
| vendor. Either way, the exit potential for
| these vendors looks bright.

Oracle poised to relocate as Sun acquisition approved
,----[ Quote ]
| A JUBILANT Oracle is gearing up to relocate its
| Scottish headquarters from Edinburgh to
| Linlithgow, following the European Commission's
| approval of its Â4.5 billion acquisition of Sun
| Microsystems.
|
| European Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes
| ended several months of uncertainty last week,
| saying she was now satisfied that the proposed
| takeover of one US technology giant by another
| will preserve competition and innovation.

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.
