MySQL Server is Open Source, even Backup extensions
,----[ Quote ]
| As reported yesterday from CommunityOne:
|
| * MySQL Server is and will always remain fully functional and open
| source,
| * so will the MySQL Connectors, and
| * so will the main storage engines we ship.
|
| In addition:
|
| * MySQL 6.0’s pending backup functionality will be open source,
| * the MyISAM driver for MySQL Backup will be open source, and
| * the encryption and compression backup features will be open source,
