Novell to Ship MySQL With NetWare 6

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the bundling-up-for-the-winter dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Coming close on the heels of their announcement that they've ported PostgreSQL to NetWare, Novell announced today that they will begin shipping MySQL with NetWare 6. Owing to customer and partner doubts about the GPL, Novell has chosen the commercial version of MySQL, rather than the GPL'ed version."

      No, not GNU/RMS, but RMS/GNU, since it's obvious that there would be no GNU without RMS. Hence RMS/GNU :-)

    I don't know why they could be so far behind schedule, they hired John Romero and the project manager for Falcon 4 to help keep them on track. What could have happened?
