===== Oracle makes commitments on MySQL Oracle has publicly committed to enhance MySQL under the GPL, not force third parties to GPL their storage engines and increase spending on MySQL development. The promises were part of ten commitments in a press statement which Oracle says is the result of "constructive discussions with the European Commission". [...] Oracle says that in the future it will develop MySQL under the GPL, simultaneously releasing enhanced versions of MySQL Enterprise Editions with enhanced versions of the GPL licensed MySQL Community Edition. It also promises that it will not make buying support services from Oracle a requirement of getting a commercial license for MySQL. Oracle says it will continue to make the MySQL Storage Engine APIs available to third parties and that it will not assert, or threaten to assert, GPL requirements on storage engine developers. Commercial OEM licensees with existing licenses will be offered extensions to their licenses on the same terms until December 2014. ===== -- Soh Kam Yung my Google Reader Shared links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/16851815156817689753) my Google Reader Shared SFAS links: (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/16851815156817689753/label/sfas) _______________________________________________ LUGS Mailing list - [email protected] List FAQ: http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq Info page: http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet To unsubscribe send an empty email to: [email protected]
