What part of "discontinue all software development on the Intel Itanium"
did you not understand? Why would Oracle care one way or another if HP
is going to continue development on the Itanic?

because their DB doesn't run on bare Itanic but on OSs (HP-UX and VMS)
which themselves run on Itanic.
So I'd expect them to talk to the OS maker first.
It seems that HP wasn't even involved here.
