Open source becomes paid software in 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the biggest misconceptions in software is that open source equals
| free. The early commercial open-source vendors like MySQL and JBoss were able
| to build decent businesses on top of a license/support-only business model,
| but over time we've seen that approach become difficult to grow beyond a
| certain threshold.

MySQL: Now and Then… and Dual License Community Impact
,----[ Quote ]
| For a long time, most viewed the control that MySQL AB had as a strength, at
| least from a business perspective. With the high quality work that is now
| going on outside MySQL/Sun, however, that is increasingly not the case.
| Percona, Proven Scaling, OurDelta, Google and others are doing some really
| cool things these days.
