Has anyone tried this new version yet? AFAIK, most ditros have hardly switched to MySQL 4.x

guys and gals
here's a "great" reason to buy a MySQL license.
A prospective client told me he was choosing MySQL over Postgres and Firebird for a system application that bundles a db because:
a) "MySQL has the most market share "
b) "We spoke to MySQL and they told us that they will give us legal defense against license infringements"
I dunno - this sounds like a protection racket to me - after all they created the exposure with their dual license policy.
I gently told the prospect that:
a) Support is a core produce for FOSS consultants and plenty of them out there to support both mysql and postgres
b) dont buy because of mkt share - buy because of functionality and fit and support
c) dont buy becuase of FUD
