Looks like Oracle is training its guns towards IBM. It's a tit-for-tat strategy for Oracle (along with eat-the-competition). IBM's levergaing on Open Source, and so will Oracle. Since Open Source products will, at its best, remain open source; open source zealots will just be amused seeing that commercial giants try to outsmart and rip each other off.
