The world's biggest contributor to Open Source: Open Office, Java (now under GPL), GlassFish, NetBeans — and soon MySQL

Seems it's staying open source...
Go sun go!!

OT: isn't it funny how MySQL's web page tagline is "the world's most popular open-source RDMS" while PostgreSQL's is "the world's most advanced open-source RDBMS"?

Wonder what the impact on MaxDB is.
