C'mon -- lighten up a little on Randy. This is not an issue for every
little country with an inferiority complex to get hot about.
The possible relationship is based not only on the physical geography, but
also on the "openness" of the products (MySQL is completely open, while
Orion is free for development).
Given that HypersonicSQL is currently not being maintained (is it?), it
seems like a logical idea to find a good substitute and MySQL would
probably be a nice fit. Personally, I love HSQL and, now that tax season
is over here in the United Socialist States of America, I plan to budget
some time to help with that.
In spite of our whizbang ability to communicate over the net, sometimes
physical proximity is important. Maybe the two parties just never thought
about having a face-to-face meeting, even though they are neighbors.
So, why not stop waving your flags for a moment and address that issue
directly?

products. Just a thought. Speaking of Sweden, since Rickard O. from
Jboss lives there, does anyone know of Magnus or Karl have meet him? In
once sense, but Jboss and Orion are trying to make this EJB technology
available to more people.
