Tuesday May 06, 2008 It's very encouraging to see that Sun does understand Open Source and has announced that MySQL will remain open. This is a follow-on from a couple of weeks ago when Sun broke the news that it would begin releasing features for MySQL Enterprise only available to paying customers. The whole affair makes it even more significant that Postgres has been pretty adamant about not selling. For a moment, it seemed as though Sun forgot how to build a reasonable community and business model around an Open Source product. Let's hope they don't forget again. Giving Oracle a run for it's money in the enterprise market can only benefit consumers.
