Oracle Open Source Buying Spree Reported

Business Week Online is reporting Oracle's Open-Source Shopping Spree.

Though neither Oracle nor any of the targeted companies are talking, yet, word is that Oracle is getting ready to pay as much as $400 million for open source middleware company JBoss and up to $200 million for PHP application server platform company Zend.

Oracle's deal for open source database software company Sleepycat Software is expected to be for less money but the unnamed sources report that the deal could be announced as soon as tomorrow (February 13).
