Yeah, no sense throwing rationality into a good flamefest.

It's a poor craftsman who blames *only* his tools, without trying to find

What strikes me is his apparent non-belief in Open Source. Basically,
he's arguing that you need to force the disgorgement to protect the
current proprietary MySQL clients, and they're needed for continuing
development, because the Open Source community hasn't/won't stood up
to support MySQL.

MySQL is GPL. Oracle can do whatever they want, but the code itself
has already been freed (as in freedom). Oracle can't put that genie

The MySQL community is already fractured from the Sun purchase, isn't
