Oracle's Sun Buy: Will OpenOffice Remain Free?
There's lots of analysis already about Oracle's purchase of Sun, mainly looking at how the buy will affect Microsoft (
think MySQL and Oracle 11g), IBM (
think DB2 and Big Blue's
failed talks with Sun) and Web browing and Web development (
think Java) . Not mentioned much is OpenOffice. It'd be interesting to see if OO continues to remain free figuratively and literally. All I care about at this point is that I don't have to resort to using Google Docs or Zoho.
