It looks like this site is designed to fool a newcomer into thinking
that they've stumbled onto the MySQL site -- there is a tiny mention on
the splash page that 'if you are looking for MySQL AB, click here'. I'm
sorry, but when I was first looking into MySQL, I had no idea what
'MySQL AB' was.  I would probably have assumed that it was some kind of
open-source claim-jumper.

Oh wait, that's what NuSphere is.

At any rate, "becoming a member" of NuSphere looks like a great way to
get your email address harvested.  Apart from that, the site doesn't
offer anything that you can't get at www.mysql.com (and you can get a
lot more at the latter).

Nothing technically illegitimate, but shifty nonetheless.
