Yes, unfortunately a lot of the noise against the SUN/Oracle merger is people that just want the licensing changed because they can't imagine building a successful company on GPL software (very sad). The same kind of people splintered the open source Java community by refusing to help sun when it GPL-ed the JVM and diverting resources to new projetcs instead. That being said, Mysql *does* compete with Oracle (not technically, but commercially very much so, it kills the "use one db everywhere" corp market paradigm where Oracle is all too happy to count cpus for lots of small Oracle databases), and this competition relies on the Mysql brand (that finally managed to reach CTO awareness level), and Oracle getting its hand on the brand would definitely lower competition for several years (and I don't have any SAP or other shares). -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
