| JonathanSchwartz: It's going to open a flurry of doors for MySQL, and it's
| going to open a flurry of doors for Sun. It already has - as I said, the
| MySQL team just closed the single largest deal in the history of MySQL, a

Sun: Economic slowdown favors open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Speaking to ZDNetAsia in an exclusive interview, he said the economic
| slowdown in the United States will favor open source companies. "During an
| economic slowdown, not everything slows down [and] IT projects will continue
| to be undertaken. But IT budgets will be reduced," he said, noting that
| companies will then turn to lower cost software options such as open source.

The rise of the open-source billionaire
,----[ Quote ]
| For Google, the underlying open source is made to be almost incidental
| (though they and others like PayPal are quick to point out that they could
| not do what they do without open source). But I suspect we'll see projects
| like MySQL directly monetize and promote the value of the open source
| powering their service offerings.
