Sun Aquires MySQL
Wow is the only thing I could think of when I saw this on my RSS reader. Then my heart sunk, as I am a fan of MySQL but not of Sun and I still wonder how Sun exists today. But further thinking has left me ok with this deal. First off it could be way worse if you think about the power players who cold have bought MySQL, Microsoft could have bought them and buried the project, Novell could have bought them and bungled it as bad as they have the other open source products they have gotten their hands on. Worse of all is if Oracle had purchased them, we would never see another MySQL product again same with IBM. So at the end of the day I guess Sun is OK.
