Justice Department Extends Probe of Oracle-Sun Deal
Teaser from WSJ: (I don't have a subscription to see the full article)
The Department of Justice informed Oracle Corp. that the
department has extended its investigation into the company's
proposed acquisition of Sun Microsystems Inc., according to
a statement issued by Oracle Friday.
The government's 30-day period to review the acquisition was
set to expire midnight Friday. Instead of approving the deal,
the Justice Department asked the companies for more information,
the Oracle statement said.

Oracle's Statement:
Oracle Issued the Following Statement
Redwood Shores, CA – June 26, 2009
Oracle issued the following statement, attributable to Dan
Wall, Latham & Watkins counsel to Oracle:
"We've had a very good dialogue with the Department of Justice
and we were almost able to resolve everything before the Second
Request deadline. All that's left is one narrow issue about the
way rights to Java are licensed that is never going to get in
the way of the deal. I fully expect that the investigation will
end soon and not delay the closing of the deal this summer."

Pfft, how can any of Sun's simple Java licenses be spooky?
