You guys, yourselves set up to it: you are using mysql when you know that they have such a license that can be bought and sold. This thing cannot happen to PostgreSql. So why not use PostgreSql when it's been even a better server? You like to follow hype (mysql). Good. Now pay for it with your worrying.

Overall this deal really opens up significant opportunities for oracle to become more formidable competitor especially against IBM now both in software & hardware but oracle executives does not regard sun as a hardware company(again oracle's witty view). Well it would be too early to comment how oracle says farewell to mysql but I think oracle will not demise mySQL but keep supporting it and all other open source projects bcz now it has become a huge lucrative market for oracle...

But it was adding features, so why would Oracle support MySQL? probably to hurt Microsoft more than itself?
