| One of the founders of MySQL and a global guru of the open source code,
| Widenius is investing in Finnish IT Mill. MySQL was sold to Sun Microsystems
| last January for one billion dollars. IT Mill is intended to be a success
| story built on the open source code, following the formula of Finland’s
| Widenius.

A bright future for MySQL
,----[ Quote ]
| MySQL is an example of a disruptive technology. At first, it was too puny for
| the proprietary databases to notice, and satisfied only small users. But its
| powers grew, and the size of the companies using it also increased. It cannot
| match the upper limits of DB2 capability at this point, but it will be
| interesting to see if and when that day comes. But it doesn’t have to; it is
| already transforming most of the database market. May Sun invest the money
| (and employ the open source software developers) to take it to the top.

| most popular open source database company, MySQL, there has been speculation
| aplenty, some of it grossly misinformed, on just how much change this will
| mean for staff at the small Swedish company.

| "Lots of MySQL employees are active within the community and have been
| encouraged to blog," he said. "This is not a closed company, what happens is
| transparent.
