nrg_alpha Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/20091110/ap_on_hi_te/us_tec_oracle_sun Perhaps there was enough mounting pressure from people who are worried about the fate of MySQL and / or database competitiveness / pricing?

.josh Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 IMO average joe doesn't really give a shit about "database competitiveness"; just worried about what Oracle is gonna do with mysql, be it charging for it or discontinuing it.

Daniel0 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 It's released under GPL, so if Oracle started charging for it or discontinuing it someone else could just fork it.

Mchl Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 In fact someone else already did. The only thing that may really hit MySQL community is restricting access to documentation which is under proprietary license at this time.

corbin Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Oh, I thought the deal had already gone through haha. I do have to wonder what Oracle would do with MySQL....
