Sun Acquires MySQL
Wow. I didn’t see this coming, but Sun Microsystems has acquired MySQL. That blog post pretty much says it, about trying to figure out what this means.
I think overall it is a good thing, particularly since the open source version of MySQL is more likely to flourish under Sun than other potential buyers, notably Microsoft. But I wonder what it means for enterprise users?
Gut reaction: seems like a good fit. Best of luck to both companies, their employees, and users!
Kudos to Patricia Baer for tipping me off before I heard about it from the regular sources!
