Sun buys MySQL
Not a technical problem thread — it's industry news chatter. Someone posted a link about Sun acquiring MySQL, and another poster added that BEA had accepted Oracle's bid. The discussion is mostly jokes (buying a Starbucks, cold coffee) plus speculation that BEA Tuxedo/Informix financial systems might migrate to Oracle, and hope that MySQL stays open source — a Sun employee suggested Sun's track record (StarOffice/OpenOffice, OpenSolaris) makes that likely. No technical question or resolution is recorded.
