Judge Says Oracle Can Keep On Annoying Peoplesoft With Bids
from the well-that's-helpful dept
While the Department of Justice had said that an Oracle takeover of Peoplesoft would harm competition a federal judge has just announced that the DOJ had not proven its case, thus allowing Oracle to keep on trying to take over Peoplesoft. Of course, that doesn't mean they're actually going to get Peoplesoft, as the company has pretty effectively been pushing aside each and every bid. So far, the whole merger attempt has done nothing but slow down both companies.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
