FYI, from the Silicon Valley Business Journal:

Oracle buys Finnish open source company

Oracle Corp. said Friday it has bought Innobase OY, a software company
based in Finland, for an undisclosed price.

Innobase makes open source database software. Its product, InnoDB, runs
on the MySQL database system, also an open source software system.
Oracle said it has long supported open source software, which is freely
available to anyone who wants to build on it or improve it, and said it
plans to add more to open source systems in the future.

Redwood Shores-based Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) said it plans to negotiate to
extend the deal between Innobase and MySQL when it needs to be renewed
next year.
