Scaring?!: MySQL AB bought by Sun Microsystems
I couldn’t believe it. In the morning I read the “Heise Newsletter” one of the biggest german sites for technical related news. In two news posts they wrote that Sun Microsystem bought MySQL AB for about a billion dollar. What does this mean for the future of LAMP or Linux? A lot of free software depends on the LAMP stack. Not only the pupular WordPress (this site is running on Wordress) but a lot of different applications OpenSource or not. Sun tries to place its Solaris to directly compete with Linux.
