| withheld to protect the proprietary]." The CISO said, "We can't just let
| developers download software off the net, you know, we've got regulation and
| security to worry about." The CTO smiled. Everyone else appeared to be
| sitting on their hands. I was going to leave it at that. Thanks for the

| connected with a buddy of mine over at MySQL, and had him check - you've
| downloaded MySQL more than 1,300 times in the last twelve months."
