Agreed, but, as I mentioned, the US (is being perceived as having) wasted all goodwill in the EU, so nobody is going to apply that pressure. Fortunately, people standing mostly outside of EU politics, such as Mikos, are now applying pressure, which may result in some politicians folding not so much for the sake of the US, but for the sake of Mikos and friends, but I remain convinced that this isn't just a matter of removing roadblocks such as "We perceive this to be bad for MySQL", which an official letter from Mikos would of course do. A considerable chunk of the EU just wants to hold the US' feet to the fire to show them just how annoying that can be, in the hopes that the US stops pulling these stunts in the future. I don't think this plan is likely to work, but that's nevertheless what seems to be happening.
Still, all pressure is good, and kudos to Mikos for making a point of this.
