Gee, I wonder what would happen when/if they piss off Oracle completely and Oracle decides to stop MySQL development, and lay off all programmers. On top of whose new source code will they base their builds? Who will be hurt the most? Oracle or MariaDB? Who developed 5.6? Oracle or MariaDB? don't answer, it's a rethorical question... But I see the usual troublemaking suspects are at work, encouraging forks... and ZDNet plays its act in a predictable way... just like they did with OO.o and LO... All these series of stories are just regurgitating and trying to create the perception of a 'momentum' for MariaDB and a 'decay' in MySQL, in the hopes of seeing that happen everywhere aka whishful thinking + self-fulfilling prophecy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_prophecy Me? I'd prefer a healthy MySQL with healthy investment by Oracle, as has been happening the last few years, rather than market and mindhsare split in two versions of essentially the same GPLP code, only with branding wars and FUD... just because some people do not like the new project owner. No, don't answer, I know what you guys are going to say...
