Apple Removes MySQL From Lion Server

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-isn't-that-interesting dept.

sfcrazy also noticed that Apple has officially removed MySQL from Lion Server, opting instead to include PostgreSQL, albeit in command line only form. The article speculates that the change is because MySQL is now Oracle property, and Apple is concerned about IP issues following all the legal issues surrounding Java.

    GPL3 is a horrible license and the fact that the hippie communists don't want people making money on GPL software, even when they comply with GPL2 licensing. The whole TIVO clause is nothing more than "I don't like what you're doing with my software I said was free, so I'm making it less free, and calling it more free".
