From the Hands Off dept.:
Oracle should resolve antitrust concerns over its acquisition of Sun Microsystems by selling open-source database MySQL to a suitable third party, its cofounder and creator Michael "Monty" Widenius said in a blog post on Monday.

...The European Union's antitrust regulator is absolutely right to be concerned about Oracle taking over MySQL, according to Widenius, who left Sun in February. MySQL needs a different home than Oracle, a home where there will be no conflicts of interest concerning how, or if, MySQL should be developed further, Widenius wrote. His company, Monty Program AB, is developing MariaDB, a branch of MySQL.
