European Commission objects to Sun-Oracle deal

That article has a funny typo in it: "it's MsSql database, which it bought for $1 billion last year, is used to run popular websites including Google, Facebook and Amazon."

Anyway, let's hope they stick to it, that might mean that if they drop mysql and make it independent again that the deal will go through.

And I never knew that google used MySql for their engine, that really rocked my world. All that misdirection involving map-reduce and the GFS, brilliant strategy.
