Oracle Denies Reports of MySQL Capitulation
[From Database Journal]

Oracle today denied a report in a New York newspaper that CEO Larry Ellison is backing down in a dispute with the European Union over the Sun Microsystems acquisition and will acquiesce to EU concerns regarding the ownership and management of the MySQL database.

The sources went on to say that Ellison would propose the creation of a "firewall" between MySQL and the rest of the combined company, and possibly set up an entirely separate board for the MySQL business.
