But no, Mark, I'm not worried by the FUD. It just means there's nothing
real for them to throw at PostgreSQL.

This just appeared on slashdot...

MySQL To Be Ikea Of The Database Market

From the linked article...

While new entrants into the open source database market, such as EnterpriseDB and Pervasive Software, have made no secret of their intentions to chase Oracle's market share, Mr Mickos said MySQL is happy to leave them to it.

"We are thankful that they are there to define the market, there is no product if you're the only vendor," he said. "Pervasive and EnterpriseDB are going up against Oracle. We don't want to be in that space, we don't want to take the heat from Oracle. If you're working in a zoo you don't want to be the one who has to brush the teeth of the lion."
