Who are the regulatory bodies that will decide whether Oracle can keep

You wanna help MySQL? Here's an idea - buy something.
Everyone wants great software for free but the paid conversion rates on
open source are a joke. I know nothing of MySQL numbers for conversion
to paid versions but I would guess they are low.
Unfortunately the reality is that open

I have to disagree, your degrading the open community that built MySQL (well

for SUN and Oracle to buy. As a small business owner, the last
Just wanted to see what people thought about the offer from Nexedi for MySQL
http://www.nexedi.com/NXD-MySQL.Takeover/view
They obviously have more reason to protect and develop MySQL but are they
serious? 1€ for a profitable business unit with a turnover of around $100m.
If that’s what the
If that’s what the price is going to be then perhaps I should
offer 2€ or maybe MySQL users should get together submit a
