Oracle buys Sun

April 20th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Wooha, that’s scary in a way:

On April 20, 2009, Oracle announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Sun Microsystems (Sun). The proposed transaction is subject to Sun stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Until the deal closes, each company will continue to operate independently, and it is business as usual.

I wonder how this will affect the future of Java (as opposed to IBM)…

    Even worse – and so obvious that I completely forgot about it – what will happen to mySQL??
