| Before I even start this post I am going to repeat our view

| killing off MySQL and that we expect MySQL to become the
| scale-out database for non-transactional web applications and
| to compete with SQL Server in departmental deployments.

| A. Yes it is, but it highlights the importance of thinking
| through the long-term implications of licensing and copyright
| assignment. If you donât want to end up in the situation
| faced by Monty Program, donât go GPL with full copyright
| assignment.

| Researchers and developers at the University of California, Berkeley are
| working on open source software to help distribute audio and video files of
| classroom lectures to media services like iTunes and YouTube. The university
| already publishes full-length videos of classroom sessions on YouTube, but
| recording, editing, and posting these videos is an costly undertaking. Now,
| new grant money will pay those expenses and help expand video distribution
| worldwide.
