I guess nothing a more spectacular future, when some other company would buy Oracle...for the same reasons. Once an open source, always an open source.

Not to worry as people will start evaluating other open source database alternatives such as Ingres and Postgres. In open source its easy...This deal is not about Oracle trying to kill open source...they know they cant do that...but its about increasing profits in times of IT budget cuts by making Sun's massive HW business profitable...workforce slashes are to be expected. ORCL I think will keep OpenSolaris alive and kicking since it would be a great counterweight to Redhat Linux. ORCL tried with its own unbreakable Linux which has not found much traction. This should cause especially HP, Cisco, MSFT, Dell to take notice and start competing strategies... MySQL may be gone or best case kept stagnant as entry level db (same way MSFT has Access.

Sun Couldn't Afford of $1 billion on the company generating merely $60 million in revenue which is working outside of its competencies. Then you can wonder who helped to buy it ?. Its orcale who afford this deal stenches from the top to the bottom. MySql will be eclipsed with Oracle DB eventually. Awesome Larry by indirectly killing MySql.
