There is a world of difference between "MySQL to Adopt Solid Storage Engine" and getting "Solid Support", as in, from TFA: "...getting Solid Information Technology, a proprietary database vendor, to take its solidDB Storage Engine for MySQL open source, under the GPL, starting in June".
Solid is just offering YA storage engine that works with MySQL, and they happen to be GPLing it. This does -not- mean MySQL is adopting anything from Solid.
Slashdot editors: please read TFA once in a while and please stop writing misleading headlines.
SCO UnixWare ships with Postgres. And why wouldn't they? All MySQL is doing is updating it's support for SCO products. Why is that bad?
