It seems to me that the bottom line is that any outcome that results
in there being a fork in the development of MySQL (with the result
being two completely different types of MySQL), or in NuSphere
retaining control of the mysql.org domain should be vehemently
rejected by the MySQL community. No matter what agreement may or may
not have been created, since MySQL AB has made it clear that this is
not what they want or intended. So to me it is obvious that any
agreement that may have been made is either being misinterpreted by
NuSphere or was not entered in good faith.
NuSphere, if what you want is an improved MySQL and if you have
anything to contribute to the betterment of MySQL, hand over the
code. If you want a "non-profit" Web site first turn over MySQL.org
to MySQL AB and either register NuSphere.org for your non-profit site
or help MySQL AB to get it started. If you want to make money on
MySQL, follow the guidelines of GPL to the letter and to the approval
of MySQL or pay the per-copy license.
I guess the solution seems so simple for an outsider.
