Only MySQL Network enables you to:...
Save time and effort by using Certified Software that has been carefully tested...
This is not the software people get if they get the "community edition" ( = freeware version), the software is diferent.
They also say
MySQL Network includes:
...
* MySQL Pro Certified Server which enables you to deliver high-performance and scalable business systems including e-commerce, Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), and Data Warehousing applications. It includes enterprise-grade quality & security testing as well as platform optimizations giving you the highest level of reliability and the fastest performance.
In http://dev.mysql.com/downloads we see what the "makers" say about their product:
"Please note that when you download the software below, it is the MySQL Community Edition. MySQL Community Edition has not been certified and is not considered ready for enterprise production use."
So what will happen when our boss discovers we have installed MySQL?
And not PostgreSQL, for example?
What kind of professional people are we? where is going to be our data?
You can use GPL version if your program doesn't exit from your company. More than 90% of the software made in the world doesn't exit from the originating company.
Also, if you want to close your software when you give it to others, DAMN, PAY A LOT FOR IT:-) . Nobody likes being given closed software.
When it has transactions, foreign keys, stored procedures and so on... ?
it was not designed to support transactions, it was not designed to support
foreign keys, it was not designed to support stored procedures.
So next time, we can get Linux, look at what didn't support the version 1.0... and... you know what? YES! We can argue this against Linux FOREVER! No matter what power it has now! And get 5:Informative!!
if mobile radiations are so inoffensive, can someone tell us how the hell your mobile phone affects televisions, normal phones, petrol stations and airplanes machinery and so on?
and not our eyes or brains?
My congratulations to all parties. Apple for beeing cooperative, and for giving back. To Zack Rusin http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/14 for sharing his opinion and reasoning, which openen up this issue.
If would be 'cool' if KDE-Konq and OSX-Safari use the same codebase for HTML-rendering and running JavaScripts. It would be 'cool' is KDE and Apple coders would work together on this.
Yet... if this will not be the case it already is a big help that both parties can view each others cvses/svns and bug databases.
I think once again Apple shows it really wants to play nice/fair with free/open-source movement.
Some people "forget" to tell us this... Can you write aspect-oriented programming?
Beware of Aspect-Oriented programming. It is patented .
See US patents 6,467,086 and 6,442,750 :

And since Aspect-Oriented programming is a patented technique http://www.pmg.lcs.mit.edu/~chandra/publications/
So, who really cares if its theoretically any good, when legally it is worthless?

They can not be more clear, and the source of this information can not be more trustable. If their information is blatantly misleading...

Let's hear what MySQL has to say:
From http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html
> MySQL Community Edition has not been certified and is
> not considered ready for enterprise production use.
Well, not much to choose if you plan something serious

it was not designed to support transactions, it was not designed to support foreign keys, it was not designed to support stored procedures.So next time, we can get Linux, look at what didn't support the version 1.0... and... you know what?

Thinking in terms of God as a thing to make profit? It's logical that you don't understand some things.
Tell me... how did they moderate as +5 a message saying... "he is a lazy bastard" ?
Do moderators like being called this? is nice? is polite? is that what you get writing to Slashdot?
