Oracle & MySQL
Should Oracle receive control of MySQL?
In April 2009, Oracle
announced that it had agreed to acquire Sun. Since Sun
had acquired MySQL the previous year, this would mean that Oracle, the market leader for closed source databases,
would get to own MySQL, the most popular open source database. If Oracle acquires MySQL on that basis, it will have as much control over MySQL as money can possibly buy over an open source project.
