Oracle buys Sleepycat open-source database vendor
Oracle has acquired open-source database vendor Sleepycat Software, strengthening its hand in the embedded database market and putting to rest at least one of the rumors about its plans to buy open-source companies.
The acquisition extends Oracle's embedded database product line, which also includes Oracle Lite for mobile devices and TimesTen, which it acquired last year, for high-performance in-memory database applications.
Sleepycat's Berkeley DB is embedded in several well-known open-source products, including the Linux and BSD Unix operating systems, Apache Web server, OpenLDAP directory and OpenOffice productivity suite, Oracle said Tuesday.
The acquisition means customers have access to a fast, open-source database at low cost and with "enterprise-class support," Oracle said.

Se rumora que Oracle tiene puestos sus ojos sobre Jboss y que incluso ya ha puesto una cifra.

Y también compraría PHP
Y también compraría PHP (Zend) ,esta es la clara demostración de que la religión del software libre puede ser transformada en dinero, pero hay que considerar que el dinero no puede ser el objetivo principal mas solo un medio, hasta que el actual sistema económico se vuelva caduco.
