The Register reports that Michael 'Monty' Widenius has submitted an appeal against the European competition watchdog's decision to clear Oracle's takeover of Sun Microsystems earlier this year. "Michael 'Monty' Widenius, who sold his chunk of the MySQL database to Sun Microsystems in 2008 for $1bn, told various news outlets including The Register on Friday that he would make a full statement about the appeal once Oracle had responded to it."
