Oracle buys Sun, gets MySQL to boot

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.
