| This is a no-brainer for two reasons. First,
| most startups â and probably 99% of the big,
| successful ones â turn to MySQL for the
| database element of their software stack;

| popularity. But the other reason is rather
| different.

Microsoft antitrust case: FSFE offers analysis to European Commission
,----[ Quote ]
| For desktop applications, FSFE argues that the software
| monopolist must release interoperability information in
| such a way that it can be used in Free Software. The
| company must also make a binding commitment not to
| enforce its patents against Free Software. That would
| prevent Microsoft from using Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
| (FUD) to keep rivals from making use of the information.
