Oracle Buys Sun: It's Official

Here's the press release. So they own Java and Solaris and MySQL, not to mention all the patents Sun pledged to use to defend Red Hat and Ubuntu when Microsoft began patent saber rattling, plus whatever patents Sun had that made Jonathan Schwartz say he had been approached to sue Linux but decided not to:
With business down and customers leaving, we had more than a few choices at our disposal. We were invited by one company to sue the beneficiaries of open source. We declined. We could join another and sue our customers. That seemed suicidal.
So whatever he was talking about now belongs to Oracle.
There was a conference call this morning, at 5:30 a.m. Pacific time. You can listen to a replay at (719) 884-8882, passcode: 923645. "A live audio webcast of the call will be made available at www.oracle.com/investor and a replay will be available for seven days after the call ends." [It's here now, but they make you register and you have to use either Windows Media or RealPlayer.]
