So what's the upshot. Is Mysql about to be commercial or be killed? if either/or then alternatives start to look good? I thought it was rather odd that they (Oracle) bought mysql to begin with...
Sun bought Mysql, then Oracle bought Sun. Before Oracle bought Sun, 4 years earlier or so, they bought Innobase who developed the InnoDB engine.

... so acquiring the rest of the commercial licensing rights makes sense from Oracle's perspective. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list luv-main@luv.asn.au http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
