A few days ago the former MySQL CEO Mårten Mickos sent an open letter to Neelie Kroes, the European Union’s competition commissioner, urging that the Sun-Oracle deal be approved.
Mickos reasoning is a classic case of different customer markets and needs, business models, and disruptive technology. Highly recommended reading.
Cheers,

The letter is good but publically lecturing the EU on the situation is not going to help the EU move fast(er) IMHO.
