News very important and quite unexpected, at least for me: Oracle has bought
Sun. It was expected that IBM did that to maintain a double line (free and proprietary software), the operation was seen as a big bet on free software IBM. After consummation of the transaction Oracle, which we all know, is committed to the sale of licensed products, the story changes dramatically.
We must be very attentive to the next moves. In my opinion the following may occur:
- phasing that Oracle will support Sun in its technologies (Java, MySQL, LWUIT, Netbeans ...). In that case it could happen:
- Oracle enters fully into the world of free software. In that case, what would you do with MySQL, Oracle's current main competitor? How would I wrote this to here?
- - That some government change its policy of free software and proprietary software suit. In my opinion, this is unlikely, but if it does, we should go for more mature proprietary software, such as. NET, for example.
- - What new projects are still underway in free software (Python, PostgreSQL, for example). In that case we should adapt to these technologies, as Google is doing.
