Oracle Responds To MySQL Purchase Concerns

Luke has no name writes "Yesterday we discussed MySQL founder Monty Widenius's objections to the acquisition of MySQL by Oracle. Today, Oracle released a statement to address some of these issues. Among their commitments, Oracle says they intend to continue releasing MySQL under the GPL, allow vendors to produce 'any-license' third-party engines, maintain the Reference Manual, invest millions into the product, and create a 'customer advisory board.' The pledges are still not enough for some, however."

Except for ending slavery, the Nazis, communism, & securing American independence, war has never solved anything.
Slavery still exists, neo-Nazis abound, communism never existed, and America is so dependant on third-world resources that it has had to invade dozens of times.
