Oracle Continues Warming Up to Open Source

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the the-more-the-merrier dept.

ErikPeterson writes to tell us that News.com is running a story about a partnership between IBM and Oracle. This partnership is to help "ensure that Oracle's packaged applications run natively--that is, without modification or special translators--on the majority of IBM's WebSphere-branded middleware, including its application server and portal, plus Big Blue's recently announced Process Server."

    And if there's profit to be made then open source is Oracles best friend.

    Oracle is about the last software company having anything to do with altruism; period.

    As well, you might say that Microsoft is warming up to Open Source because they included some OSS utilities with VISTA or whatever their latest operating system incarnation is...
