I was reading an article ("Oracle: SELECT * FROM Sun" [1]) discussing
Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems [2]. The article speculates on
the effect this could have on various Sun backed projects such as MySQL,
Java, Solaris, and OpenOffice. Oracle Database is a direct competitor
with MySQL. Do you think Oracle will continue to support MySQL, or will
it will morph into an "Oracle Express Edition"? Do you think the
acquisition will have a positive or negative impact on these important
projects?
