A good point was made by a slashdot participant (yeah, that happens): basically Oracle and MySQL have very different user bases. Have you ever seen a wiki or blog running with a Oracle backend or an big industry ERP running on MySQL?
So I guess MySQL will survive Oracle, the same way it survived Sun's
sabotage. Some say that OO was similarly sabotaged by Sun.
Code is free, companies are just in the way... Oracle will not be much
better/worse than Sun. The problem is that it's just much bigger now,
all of a sudden.
I'm still pretty shocked by this.
