Java was never fully release to the open source world. and MySQL is being branched off by Monty Widenius so that it will remain open source. So a small but bumpy loss to opensource as far as development goes. Flash has been overtaking Java on the web application side of things. So this is probably going to be a nonevent as far as future changeover. Overall this is going to be a nonevent. Like HP buying Compaq.
