What's the motive? (Score 1)

One has to consider motive. Honeytrap? Could Larry Ellison be behind the whole thing? What does Oracle have that SAP could rationally want? Oracle ERPware is allegedly inferior to SAP, but Ellison by reputation must rank as one of the shrewdest operators in the industry. Remember his poster campaign in Foster City against IBM's DB2. If you can't beat them, trash them, and some of the mud may stick, and make their managment lose focus at the same time If his own Oracle ERP software was so good, he would already be the industry dominant force, and he isn't. Funny, that. All sounds pretty fishy to me.
