I would like someone from MySQL AB to clarify issue with SCO asap. I
wouldn't like to use technologies for my business that later could be
used against me (in legal sense). Does MySQL AB understand that it
helps funding their legal cases against us (GPL users) ? If someone
feels OK with SCO partnership, good luck, but (being long time MySQL
user and alpha bug reporter) I would switch to Embedded PostgreSQL
myself and encourage other people to do the same. I use _tons_ of GPL
software so should I help funding of my own annoyance (albeit poorly
supported with facts) ?

This is the part that gets me:
As part of the agreement, the companies will work together on a range
of joint marketing, sales, training, business development and support
programs that will benefit customers throughout the Americas, Europe
and Asia.
I suppose it depends on how much 'joint work' is actually involved. As
another poster pointed out, this could just be SCO up to their usual spin.
But I agree with you - if this is some kind of special business
relationship, then Postgres is looking all the more inviting.
No press release from MySQL yet ... it would look interesting above
their 'Novell to Offer MySQL Network' news article :) Clearly one is as
newsworthy as the other.
