Oracle is losing the most valuable assets at Sun - the brains. What a clusterfuck.

They still have an AMAZINGLY good sales team. As for Drizzle, if it didn't have a multi-hundred-thousand dollar price tag, I'm guessing Oracle isn't too beaten up about it honestly.

Eventually they won't have anything left from Sun to sell...

I'm telling myself that Oracle can't be as large as they are and not realize the secondary value of visible open source projects like Drizzle.
