Well, cramming made me miss the NuSphere seminar up in Portland this
morning. Big deal.

Of note, however, is an e-mail from NuSphere, an outfit that packages an
easy install of Apache, Perl, PHP4, and MySQL along with (I haven't seen
them) some improvements like "MySQL Enhanced" and "PHPeD" to create a
development platform for database driven server side scripted web site
building, ... well, NuSphere explains in their latest e-mail newsletter that
they were "forced" to sue MySQL AB, the company that created that wonderful
little database of the same name. Apparently MySQL AB is claiming that
NuSphere is misusing its trademarks, violating it's GPL for MySQL, and
generally being a bunch of greedy let's profit from this open source moon
rocket assciholes.

Anyone got the straight skinny on this conflict?

Dennis
