MySQL (Sun) acquisition

Hello Sluggers,

This is more Open Source software related than Linux specifically so I
hope you do not mind this news being posted here... nevertheless this
may indirectly affect many of you also.

I just received a plea from MySQL (see below)

any thoughts?

cheers,
Meryl
