'The power of open source': Don Sambandaraksa interviews David Axmark, the
co-founder of MySQL

| ''It's about freedom and independence. You are not locked out if you don't
| work for Sun. One reason I got into open source is that nobody limited what I
| could know. With proprietary software, there is only so much you can find out
| before you have to go and work for that company or sign an NDA
| (non-disclosure agreement),'' he said.

Drizzle makes MySQL lean, mean again
,----[ Quote ]
| Bye-bye to 600,000 lines of code
|
| Drizzle is tackling these issues head-on. The developers have a very clear
| plan: reworking the whole code base to eliminate the unnecessary and
| poorly-implemented features that have built up over the years. They've
| trimmed the code to less than half, removing some 600,000 lines of code.
|
| This is no bedroom coding project
|
| Perhaps just as importantly, they've adopted the GPL as the one-and-only
| licence for Drizzle, cutting the dual-licencing that kept MySQL's development
| in-house. While some MySQL developers are working on Drizzle, they're joined
| by developers from such prominent MySQL users as Google, Canonical, Six
| Apart, and even MySQL's new parent company, Sun.
