Sure. But you have to admit, Oracle would be a good fit for taking over
any remaining Microsoft IP that is worth anything, given that Oracle
seems to derive most of its remaining revenue from leveraging its IP,
anyway (e.g. the lawsuit against Google).
The best case scenario would be for the code to be open-sourced ...
Oracle is one of the most open-source-hostile companies around. Look at
what happened to all the open-source projects they inherited from Sun.
That’s another reason why I think it would be a good fit.
