Oracle Chief Architect to Reveal MySQL Strategy
,----[ Quote ]
| "We're looking forward to outlining our
| plans for MySQL and providing the
| development community with deeper insight
| into the enhancements they can expect right
| now and moving forward," Screven said in a
| statement released Thursday.
|
| MySQL "is strategic to Oracle," he added.
|
| [...]
|
| Oracle released a list of pledges regarding
| MySQL in December, including promises to
| continue making the database available
| through the General Public License; to not
| require customers to buy support from
| Oracle in order to get a commercial MySQL
| license; and to boost spending on research
| and development.

The future of MySQL in a post-Sun world
,----[ Quote ]
| There's good news for fans of MySQL: It
| won't be left to wither and die any time
| soon. Oracle has made very public
| assurances that it will spend more on
| developing the database than Sun ever did,
| at least for the next three years. The
| Community Edition will continue to see
| improvements, which will be released under
| the GPL at no charge with all of the source
| code.

Datacenter Barometer: Good News for OpenSolaris?
,----[ Quote ]
| Setting up the paywall for Solaris 10
| simply refines the open core model the
| Solaris/OpenSolaris relation already had.
| It's just that now the commercial Solaris
| 10 will not be free in any sense: neither
| as in beer or freedom.
|
| Obviously, the restriction of these
| freedoms is not a good thing, but I have a
| feeling that this may be the way Oracle
| will reconcile its desire to maintain a
| strong OpenSolaris community versus its
| need to generate revenue.
