ZDNet: Oracle: ‘We just don’t care’ about Sun-MySQL Merger’

Paula Rooney reports on the LF’s podcast series with Oracle’s Edward Screven, focusing on the Sun-MySQL merger.

“Oracle’s Chief Corporate Architect predicts the Sun-MySQL merger will have little impact on his company or on Linux. In an interview with the Linux Foundation, Edward Screven, who reports directly to Oracle founder and CEO Larry Ellison, maintains Sun’s patronage of its open source rival won’t affect Oracle sales. MySQL is an open source database, while Oracle’s database is not.”
