For months now, Monty and his interesting (and interested) acolyte, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florian_M%C3%BCller">Florian Mueller</a>, have been lobbying everything that seems to be possibly lobbied, from the press to the European Commission where they seemed to have been giving a hard time to Oracle, confused the European anti-trust with byzantine arguments leading to have MySQL relicensed under the BSD <a href="http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20091021164738392">while portraying Microsoft as &#8220;understanding towards the Open Source ecosystem&#8221;</a>.</p> -<p>You might then ask, again, why would Monty want MySQL back, or separated from Oracle? What would Monty Widenius, co-founder of MySQL, and recently an advisor of the Microsoft&#8217;s Codeplex Foundation, counter Sun&#8217;s acquisition by Oracle after having left Sun as fast as he could have? There seems to be many reasons, at least on a personal level. One of them, as <a href="http://jan.wildeboer.net/2010/01/why-i-will-not-sign-the-mysql-petition/">Jan Wildeboer outlined today</a>, might be that Monty just does not want to leave the command of MySQL. The problem is that the &#8220;competitive case&#8221; just does not seem to exist here. Not only can anyone fork MySQL (Monty already did it by the way), but the database market is competitive enough to have other credible incumbents fill in the gap, if Oracle were to become.. carnivorous, which remains to be proven. But there are other reasons, some of whose can be foreseen if one thinks about the possible outcomes of Oracle&#8217;s walking away from the merger at the end of the month. Sun Microsystems lost several of its most profitable and large customers with the globlal financial crisis. It is doubtful whether Sun could actually survive in the end.

I have not heard a word from Monty Widenius. The future of ODF does not seem to be very important, just like, in the same way, his new colleague at the Codeplex Foundation, Miguel de Icaza, seems to think. Perhaps the quest for another billion is too important and therefore Monty just hasn&#8217;t found the time to think and focus about other issues. By helping MySQL, it seems to me you are also helping the personal wealth of a billionaire who calls evil what some might do in the future while forgetting he did the same before.</p> -<p>All things considered, I am not really excited at the prospect of &#8220;saving MySQL&#8221;, and neither should you.

For months now, Monty and his interesting (and interested) acolyte, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florian_M%C3%BCller">Florian Mueller</a>, have been lobbying everything that seems to be possibly lobbied, from the press to the European Commission where they seemed to have been giving a hard time to Oracle, confused the European anti-trust with byzantine arguments leading to have MySQL relicensed under the BSD <a href="http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20091021164738392">while portraying Microsoft as &#8220;understanding towards the Open Source ecosystem&#8221;</a>.</p> -<p>You might then ask, again, why would Monty want MySQL back, or separated from Oracle? What would Monty Widenius, co-founder of MySQL, and recently an advisor of the Microsoft&#8217;s Codeplex Foundation, counter Sun&#8217;s acquisition by Oracle after having left Sun as fast as he could have? There seems to be many reasons, at least on a personal level. One of them, as <a href="http://jan.wildeboer.net/2010/01/why-i-will-not-sign-the-mysql-petition/">Jan Wildeboer outlined today</a>, might be that Monty just does not want to leave the command of MySQL. The problem is that the &#8220;competitive case&#8221; just does not seem to exist here. Not only can anyone fork MySQL (Monty already did it by the way), but the database market is competitive enough to have other credible incumbents fill in the gap, if Oracle were to become.. carnivorous, which remains to be proven. But there are other reasons, some of whose can be foreseen if one thinks about the possible outcomes of Oracle&#8217;s walking away from the merger at the end of the month. Sun Microsystems lost several of its most profitable and large customers with the globlal financial crisis. It is doubtful whether Sun could actually survive in the end.

I have not heard a word from Monty Widenius. The future of ODF does not seem to be very important, just like, in the same way, his new colleague at the Codeplex Foundation, Miguel de Icaza, seems to think. Perhaps the quest for another billion is too important and therefore Monty just hasn&#8217;t found the time to think and focus about other issues.
