sun^H^H^Horacle impact on open source products ?

[Peter]

I wonder why no-one has reacted to the Sun->Oracle takeover, knowing that at
least 3 open source products have thus passed into new hands. OpenOffice,
VirtualBox and Java (and OpenSolaris) are now controlled by Oracle. Oracle
bought sleepycat, makers of the dbm library used by mySQL, a competing product
of Oracle's database products. So far, so good. What about tomorrow ? Is this
the new patent clutching gorilla ?
