For a long time now Nusphere has been treading on far too many peoples toes (who do they think they are) not only are they annoying MySQL users with their exasperating antics they are also trying to steal MySQL from the very people that actually wrote the software. Dont forget,they have registered http://www.mysql.org for some very bizzare reasons. You don't have to take my word for it either there is some info about it at http://searchdatabase.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid13_gci75904 5,00.html Also, http://www.linuxgram.com/156/ states that NuSphere, the MySQL start-up and offshoot of Progress Software, has hired itself a president. "NuSphere, the MySQL start-up" ??? whats that all about. http://boston.internet.com/people/article/0,1928,2041_593741,00.html has this to say; NuSphere was founded in June and is a subsidiary of Progress Software (NASDAQ:PRGS). Its products include MySQL, an open source Web development platform. Come on guys who do they think they are trying to fool. And finaly, the distributor of MySQL ???? is complaining about the antics of Microsoft, oh dear. http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2781638,00.html?chkpt=zdnnp1tp 02 "Microsoft can't beat us technically, so they've decided to strangle us in legal paperwork," said Lorne Cooper, president of NuSphere, distributor of the MySQL open source database system. So, what do you think we should do about all this. Regards Andy Woolley. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael A.
