Posted by Jeff as Companies, Innovation, Open Source, Trends

It’s really hard to figure out what Oracle’s intentions are on open source. On one hand I’m inclined to believe that they may be disruptive enough to bolt on parts of Fusion middleware to a newly acquired open source stack, but on the other I think that Tom may be right in his assessment.

What Mr Ellison has done is scuppered that strategy. The ideals of thousands of software developers will not be be satisfied by the prospect of the mainstream enterprise sector buying the open source companies.
