As posted here and here (and pretty much everywhere else on the web), Oracle has bought Sun, in the process also acquiring MySQL (which Sun bought a short while ago).
A while ago Oracle purchased InnoDB the ACID engine that MySQL had been using at the time, so I can’t say that this purchase necessarily bodes well for the MySQL dual licensing scenario. It’s not like Oracle is in a position to actually use any of the source it gets from MySQL is it?
Either way it will be interesting to see what Oracle does with Sun’s software products.
