Wow, you're pretty late to the game.
Yeah, I noticed the announcement was about 28 days ago, but I didn't notice anything in the PLUG archives, so I was hoping that I wasn't the only one who missed the announcement.
A lot of hot air was produced by "analysts" predicting what would happen. If you need to warm your hands over a little infotainment, I recommend searching the archive of your favorite tech reporter/blogger. If you're looking for actual information, the truth is nobody knows how this will play out.
What I was hoping to hear is there is some sort of "written" agreement that protects MySQL from being turned proprietary only. Last time I checked MySQL was under a dual license (one community open source based, the other commercial), and I am hoping Oracle does not have the power to turn it commercial only. Or even worse, buy it, kill it, so Oracle database can stand alone.
