    • The same mapping translates SPSS authorisation types into IBM equivalents (for example Authorized User, Concurrent User and Network Concurrent User) and states that some server-based licences were replaced with PVU licensing.[2]
    • IBM completed the acquisition in early October 2009 and reported SPSS as part of its business analytics capabilities.[1]

  294. Oracle acquired BEA SystemsClosed 2008 · USD 8.5 billion, USD 19.375 per share (as stated to the European Commission)

    Oracle acquired BEA Systems, a middleware vendor, after clearance by the European Commission on 29 April 2008. BEA's WebLogic, Tuxedo, JRockit and AquaLogic products were rebranded as Oracle Fusion Middleware products from the 10.3 (10gR3) releases.

    Licensing impact
    • The European Commission cleared the acquisition under Article 6(1)(b) on 29 April 2008 without conditions, finding that the parties' overlapping middleware products were not substitutes in the market sense.[1]
    • Oracle's Lifetime Support Policy lists former BEA products in a separate table and states that, unless noted, any release previously retired by BEA receives indefinite Sustaining Support; the Oracle-branded 10.3 releases carry Premier Support end dates of January 2014 to January 2015 and Extended Support end dates of January 2017.[2]
    • From the 10.3 releases the products carry Oracle names and the same Lifetime Support stages as other Oracle Fusion Middleware products, so licensees on BEA-branded releases (for example WebLogic 9.x and 10.0 to 10.2) are in Sustaining Support and need an Oracle-branded release for Premier or Extended Support.[2]
