EC Formally Objects To Oracle's Purchase of Sun

From the Maginot Line dept.:
European antitrust regulators have formally objected to Oracle Corp.'s $7.4-billion US takeover of Sun Microsystems Inc., citing concerns that the takeover could hurt competition in the database market.

The European Commission sent a statement of objections to Sun on Monday. At the heart of the issue is Sun's MySQL division, which makes the most popular open source database software. Oracle is the market leader in proprietary database software — the kind that is protected by copyright.
