    You mean like Novell To Buy MySQL From Oracle For $1.1B Cash And Stock

    Novell today announced that it will pay Oracle Corp $500 million in cash and $550 million in stock to buy MySQL.

A news release from the company said "This is the best long-term alternative to enhance stockholder value." Elliot Associates LP had previously offered $2 billion for Novell, an offer that was widely seen as a cash grab.
