good stuff

One has to wonder how this fits in with FathomDB who recently partnered with Rackspace on the heels of Amazon RDS. Could be collaborative or a replacement. Thoughts?

They're different and complimentary. I think the ultimate goal here is to promote things that are open source and/or not proprietary.

If they want to offer Drizzle to customers, they probably need something like FathomDB. Considering that they're already collaborating, I could see them acquiring FathomDB sometime soon.

This is wonderful news!

Good news. Basically, it means Drizzle won't die from lack of internal support from Oracle.

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.

I suspect we'll see more of this in the next month or so.
