Ask MySQL's CEO About Running a Free Software Business

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the world's-most-popular-free-software-database dept.

There have been so many articles written about the perils, pitfalls, and possible rewards of running a business based on free or open source software that we can't possibly link to them all. Instead, let's ask MySQL CEO Mårten Mickos how to make money with a company based on free software, because he runs a company that is almost always touted as one of the world's greatest free software (business) successes. You may want to read some of these interviews with Mårten before you come up with your own questions in order to avoid duplication, but other than that suggestion and the usual Slashdot interview rules, ask whatever you like, however you like.

  1. MySQL Front by PhotoBoy · · Score: -1, Troll

    Does anyone know why this happened? MySQL Front was my favourite front end for MySQL, much better than the one on MySQL.com IMHO, so I'm curious as to why it was killed.
