The tech press is buzzing with the news that database giant Oracle is "taking IBM's leavings," in a sense, and buying Sun Micrososystems for $7.4 billion.

The details that have been made public so far have been bandied about so much already I'm not going to repeat them again. The more interesting question is what the deal will mean -- particularly for Sun's open source software.

Winners on the deal include Java itself in the fullest and broadest sense. Oracle and IBM are the premier Java vendors, and the might of IBM (and its customers and developers) in the market will force Oracle to keep Java open and vibrant, while Oracle’s penchant for control and commercial success will keep Java safe and singular. Oracle execs will surely understand the most successful use-cases for MySQL and allow it to continue flourishing in those arenas. Where MySQL encroaches on the functionality of Oracle's main database products, the outlook is murkier.

I definitely think so.OpenOffice will live on beyond Sun.And I am sure Oracle will get behind it.For the vast majority of users (students, teachers, and administrators, especially), OpenOffice is more than good enough. The price is certainly right, too.So open office will surely survive for a long period of time.
