I would love to continue using a freely available Open/Solaris that also

I'd point you to Monty's open letter to the EU, pointing to these
specific examples in support of petition to deny the take over.
Regardless of what Oracle's actions or plans, I personally find Monty's
distasteful. Having netting $1Billion for MySQL and he wants it back
[1]. I put comments along this line in his blog, he took it out because
waht I said is not re-enforcing the message of his blog.

[1] I can accept anyone else to argue with the same arguments in his
blog, but I consider it is unacceptable be it on the ground of integrity
for have sold out MySQL in the first place.
