Hi! It has come to my attention that you have a link on your web site at
http://www.debian.org/intro/why_debian.de.html to www.mysql.org. If your intention is to forward your readers to the real MySQL site, I suggest you should change the link to www.mysql.com instead. www.mysql.com is operated by MySQL AB, which is owned by the developers who created the MySQL[tm] server and who have been actively working on developing this according to the spirit of open source. MYSQL.ORG was previously pointing to the same site as mysql.com. The MYSQL.ORG site is nowadays operated by NuSphere Corporation without our authorization and in violation of our trademark and other rights. I have reasons to believe that they are going to use this site to do a fork of the MySQL code. It also appears that NuSphere has been violating the GPL license by selling a commercial box without providing the source code for their additions to the MySQL[tm] server. By doing this they have, according to the GPL license terms, lost all rights to copy, modify, and distribute the MySQL server code until they settle this dispute with us. NuSphere however has shown no inclination of wanting to settle this matter, but instead of negotiating with us, launched www.mysql.org. We appreciate any help you can give us regarding this. Regards, Monty CTO of MySQL AB and author of 95 % of the MySQL core server code. PS: If you want to know more about this, you can find more information at http://www.mysql.com/news/article-75.html
