Will MySQL Keep Lighting up LAMP?
,----[ Quote ]
| There was nothing subtle about this concern. During his keynote address,
| Mickos was asked by an audience member if Sun/MySQL was still committing to
| keeping Linux as one of its prime operating systems. Mickos replied that
| Sun/MySQL was "still committed to Linux." After all, Mickos added, "If we
| aren't committed, then any one of you can take the MySQL code and fork it to
| make a new MySQL product, which I am sure you would do if Sun tried to
| convert LAMP to SAMP."

MySQL and "commercial extensions:" Core, complements, and semantics
,----[ Quote ]
| Perhaps it's just a matter of semantics (Marc Fleury certainly believes it
| is), but I think MySQL would have been wiser (at least as an interim step) to
| adopt Red Hat's model rather than don the hairshirt over commercial
| extensions, without clearly defining what this means.
