Speculating about a possible sale or lack of a sale is (as Bryen said)
a waste of effort.  no one will be able to confirm or deny.. not
because they don't want to say anything, but so that if there is a
sale negotiation in process, they don't jeopardize that sale.... that
plus the tight legal restrictions in place also prevent anyone from
saying anything.

Look at how long it's taken for Oracle and Sun to conclude their deal.
