Oracle CEO: We Never Compete With MySQL; Will Not Spin It Off (video)

In a conversation with former Motorola CEO Ed Zander – hosted by the Churchill Club – last night, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said loud and clear that it will not spin off or kill MySQL, no matter what the European Union says about his deal to acquire Sun Microsystems.

“We never compete with MySQL… We’re not going to spin it off. The U.S. government cleared this. We think the Europeans are going to clear this,” pounded Ellison.

I’m sure that’ll please the bureaucrats in Brussels that are “thoroughly” reviewing the deal over some mussels and crispy triply-fried (Belgian) fries
