Setting aside various existence proofs to the contrary, the fact remains that he already SOLD the rights to dual-license MySQL, when he sold MySQL AB to Sun; and he made a pretty hefty amount of money doing so. Now he'd like the EU to force Oracle to give him back that right for free. This isn't so much about "let's help save MySQL" as it is about "let's help Monty get a second bite of the apple". (FWIW, I completely agree with Monty that Oracle is likely to do their best to kill MySQL once they have it. But they can't kill the GPL'd version as long as people are willing to work on that. Evidently Monty isn't.) regards, tom lane -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
