(Nasdaq: LNUX - news) today > announced a strategic alliance to help accelerate the use and > development of the MySQL database, one of the most popular databases > for Linux. As part of this initiative, MySQL has been re-licensed > under the GNU General Public License (GPL) from the Free Software > Foundation, the same license used by the Linux operating system > kernel. Programmers around the world can now freely distribute > modifications and enhancements to the latest beta and future > releases of MySQL source code. > ``I've been a big fan of MySQL for years, so it's cool to see them > take this step,'' said Rob ``CmdrTaco'' Malda, founder of > Slashdot.org, the largest news/community site for Open Source > developers. > In order to make its software more easily accessible and broaden > developer participation, MySQL will host the project on > SourceForge(TM), the world's largest Open Source development center, > growing steadily with over 5,800 software projects and over 37,000 > registered users. In addition, VA Linux has made an investment in > MySQL and will work with MySQL on advanced support and service > programs. > ``We have always considered ourselves committed members of the Open > Source and Free Software communities,'' said Monty Widenius, project > leader on MySQL. ``Moving to the GPL and hosting development on > SourceForge were the best ways we could think of to re-affirm that > commitment. We encourage both the Open Source community and industry > to get involved in this project as we work to increase the viability > of MySQL in the enterprise.'' > ``All of the VA Linux and Andover.Net web sites--including > Slashdot.org, Freshmeat.net, SourceForge and Linux.com--have been > built on MySQL,'' said Dr. Larry M. Augustin, president and CEO of > VA Linux Systems. ``We are honored to host the development of MySQL > on SourceForge, and we look forward to offering in-depth support of > MySQL through our alliance with the project team. By moving to the > GPL, MySQL will increase its distribution base; we look forward to > being able to ship MySQL with our systems.'' Wassallam, -- Zakaria PT.
