Is There an Open Source Database Ecosystem?

,----[ Quote ]
| Were those code bases run by foundations, as I 
| suggested yesterday, this kind of thing would 
| be both easier and much more natural. That's 
| clearly not going happen, at least in the 
| short term, so it will be interesting to see 
| how the ODBA goes about nurturing its 
| ecosystem. In any case, it's good to see open 
| source companies working together, since 
| ultimately they are all on the same side.

Letter to the EC opposing Oracle's acquisition of MySQL

,----[ Quote ]
| The European Commission should block
| Oracle's acquisition of MySQL as part of
| its acquisition of Sun Microsystems.
|
| Oracle seeks to acquire MySQL to prevent
| further erosion of its share of the market
| for database software licenses and
| services, and to protect the high prices
| now charged for its proprietary database
| software licenses and services.
