“The news first broke in the New York Post, which said Neelie
Kroes, the out-going chair of the EU’s committee on competition,
likes Oracle’s promises, and that Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) is expected
to form an advisory group of MySQL customers.“All that’s left, a source familiar with the proceedings told
InternetNews.com, is for the commission on competition to write its
report from the hearings and submit it to the larger EU regulatory
body. So there is still some process left for the two tech
firms.“With the holidays rapidly approaching, it’s not believed that
the report will be finalized until after the new year. The
commission has until January 27 but probably won’t take that long,
said the source.”
