...erm, what about MySQL, Open Office?

Am I the only person to be concerned about a large corp owning it's leading, open source competitor?!

And Open Office?!

Open sourcing Solaris made Sun worthy of such ownership. Just because Oracle supports Linux, doesn't mean that this deal can be classed as good for open source at this early stage.
