I might be biased, but any acquisition by Oracle of a good company doesn't feel good to me. They didn't ruin MySql and Virtual box so there's hope.

When a previous company I had previously worked at (and owned equity in) was acquired by Oracle - I described like this to a friend:

"It's like finding out your daughter got married to Kim Jong-il, you're happy for her - but you're not looking forward to family events."

Apiary was (is) a very slick product. Hopefully it doesn't become a licensing fiasco.

It will. It's the Oracle way.

That could be a good title for a book [sarcasm intended]
