Where do you get that idea from? Sun hasn't ceased funding--quite the
contrary.
Think future, not past. Why would Oracle want to finance the
development of one of their main competitors?
Positive press?
As a way to entice HW purchases (Solaris/Linux preloaded
with and tuned for Mysql)?
For Mysql support contracts and classes?
An entry way into the more profitable Oracle systems (why do
dealers give away free drugs to school kids)?
