Hi folks,
the Java related news are indeed quite alarming, so the OpenJDK java
sounds very good to me (even though I don't regard myself as a
developer). Now, as we know that also mysql is nowadays owned by Oracle
then I ask you guys: am I the only one scared of the time when there is
a huge price tag on mysql? Oracle is already rolling out the Enterprise
edition of mysql so I have to ask is the open source mysql developing
any further? When I read what mysql co-founder Michael Monty Widenius
and the rest write, then the answer is clear: the (former?) mysql key
developers are not very happy about the situation:

Ok, like said I'm not a programmer nor a db specialist so I only ask
this in order to hear what you db gurus say. Also, my intention is not
to start a db war between any particular db's. I just wanted to drop you
a line to ask whether it is indeed wise to follow the mysql path with
OPENcast? There are other db's which seem way more open to me (postgres
for one).
Yours,

Hi Hank,
Thanks for bringing this up on list.
It's unfortunate that Oracle has taken this position, but fortunately
Matterhorn appears to be relatively unscathed. Adam McKenzie and I have
spent the day testing 1.3 and it seems that OpenJDK 6 works without
modification. There will be some minor work needed for OpenJDK 7
centered mainly around dependencies for 3rd party libraries (log4j pax).
I can make no guarantees for 1.2 or earlier, those have not been tested
yet.
All in all, it seems like some minor work and updating our documentation
should get us through this in one piece!

*Oracle’s**/ Sun Java JDK/ packages are to be removed from the Ubuntu
partner repositories and disabled on users systems.*
Oracle, in retiring the ‘Operating System Distributor License for Java’,
means Canonical no longer have permission to distribute the package.
The change will affect Ubuntu 10.04 LTs, Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 users only.
Users who have the /‘sun-java-6′/ package installed on their system will
see it removed via a future software update – the exact date of which is
‘TBD’.
Anyone requiring the software will need to switch to open-source
alternatives (many of which are readily available in the Ubuntu Software
Centre) or by manually installing the Java packages available through
the Oracle web site.
OpenJDK – Succeeding Java
OpenJDK – which until now has been the open-source alternatives to Java
– will now become *the official implementation of Java*. Oracle
themselves will be using OpenJDK as the basis for their own future
releases<http://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/moving_to_openjdk_as_the>.
