If we can generate a lot of awareness about this, there is a good chance that Oracle will not get MySQL unconditionally, which gives MySQL a much better chance to survive, which is good for everyone that is using MySQL.

It may take me some time but I will change over to some other OPEN SOURCE option. I believe people who are committed to open source are there due to the fact that they HATE the rip-off for the service they get.

Unfortunat...Answering Hercules:<br /><br />About the Manual:<br /><br />Unfortunately the Manual is not GPL and can't be forked. Many people in the MySQL group worked in Sun for it to be released under a more permissive license, and in February Sun announced that this would finally happen, but then Sun retracted this promise.<br /><br />About communicating with Oracle:<br /><br />I have both publicly and privately tried to reach Oracle to discuss this issue, but so far no meaningful responses from them.<br /><br />The only response we have got from Oracle is the 10 public promises they made available, but as it has been shown in my <a href="http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2009/12/oracle-gives-only-empty-promises-for.html" rel="nofollow">previous blog</a> the promises don't amount to much when it comes to ensuring that MySQL is further developed as Open Source or ensuring that MySQL will continue to be a competitive force in the market and thus keep database prices down.Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06049512911785594864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552895785228669482.post-51575172659138390482010-01-02T20:23:48.286+02:002010-01-02T20:23:48.286+02:00Hi Monty

Can't it just be forked at the same time as the code, if you ultimately find that Oracle is writing proprietary code into the main branch?<br /><br />I suspect that you may be doing more harm than good with this campaign, if you have not already explored and exhausted your other options. Have you tried communicating directly with Oracle’s senior management to discover its intentions, proposing any considerations that would make its purchase of MySQL helpful and acceptable to the MySQL community?<br /><br />I fear that this public ‘call to arms’ will put Oracle on the defensive and make impossible any negotiation or compromise in the future.<br /><br />I feel the best strategy would be for you to act as an interface between Oracle and the community, communicating the concerns of the community to Oracle, and your progress back to the community in order to maintain and strengthen the support.<br /><br />Please could you explain the efforts that you have made to negotiate directly with Oracle? What was the response?<br /><br />With thanks<br />HHercules Perculesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552895785228669482.post-49452232338863303342010-01-01T03:59:31.250+02:002010-01-01T03:59:31.250+02:00The following has been sent to the EC:
I am one of...The following has been sent to the EC:<br />I am one of many millions of people around the world who either knowingly or unknowingly run the MySQL database software on their computers. It is at the heart of countless applications in general everyday use - in my case, medical office software, for example.<br /><br />The European Monopolies Commission has already seen what can happen when a giant corporation such as Microsoft controls the source code of software: it becomes arrogant and monopolistic, and exploits hundreds of millions of computer users to its own advantage. Over the past 15 or so years computer users have come to realize the importance of maintaining key software products as "open source". This allows for an army of private individuals to develop and improve the product for the betterment of all citizens of the planet. This is best exemplified by remarkable growth over the past decade of the Linux operating system. In fact this operating system is at the heart of items from domestic appliances to mobile 'phones to 'tablet' computers, - as well as an increasing number of desktop computers in domestic and corporate environments.<br /><br />The EC should make it a priority to protect the very concept of 'open source' software, not only for the benefit of its own citizens, but for the world at large. The EC should not allow MySQL to be taken over by Oracle or any other privately motivated software company.<br />Asklepios.Asklepiosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552895785228669482.post-61915009772658247862009-12-31T23:38:54.635+02:002009-12-31T23:38:54.635+02:00At the end we will have the same result of "A...At the end we will have the same result of "Adobe eating Macromedia", as seen some years ago.<br />The result is under our eyes.
