Did the entire team continue to work for Oracle? I suppose that people work for a startup for a reason, and once that reason is gone, it might make more sense to move on.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this...

All the engineers went to work for Oracle and were given large incentives to stay for 2 years. Most stayed and got their incentive payouts, though they all eventually left later on. I think the longest tenure at Oracle there ~8 years.
