They bought SleepyCat already and that showed what can happen - an open-source product can disappear without trace and just become a faceless part of Oracle vX. Oracle would only really buy them to either kill them off, or become some minor part of their business. IBM and Sun are pretty much the only 2 really, really big corporations who have switched to funding and supporting a lot of open source development. It's no coincidence that they're both have (or have had) heavily hardware oriented business models. IBM already has DB2 but Sun doesn't really have a decent database product. So I see it as a good fit.[/quote]
