I must be missing something, but isn't MySQL open source? Sure, MySQL AB had a proprietary thingie here or there and professional services, but otherwise the community can still do what it wants with MySQL. So why all the hoopla I've been seeing about MySQL? --- Puryear IT, LLC - Baton Rouge, LA - http://www.puryear-it.com/ Active Directory Integration : Web & Enterprise Single Sign-On Identity and Access Management : Linux/UNIX technologies Download our free ebook "Best Practices for Linux and UNIX Servers" http://www.puryear-it.com/pubs/linux-unix-best-practices/ -----Original Message----- From: lugoj-boun...@lists.lugoj.org [mailto:lugoj-boun...@lists.lugoj.org] On Behalf Of Robert Lewis Sent: Friday, January 01, 2010 10:26 AM To: lu...@lugoj.org Subject: [LUGOJ] [Fwd: Help save MySQL; Sign the petition] Have you all seen this yet? The Sun purchasse by Oracle is being held up by the EU with this being a central reason. Personally I'd like to see MySQL given a bunch of cash like the baby bells was and give it a chance to truly remain open. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Help save MySQL; Sign the petition Date: Fri, 1 Jan 2010 05:47:27 +0100 (CET) From: mo...@helpmysql.org To: undisclosed-recipients:; Hi!
