Aughhh. I wonder what this will mean to PHP, Python, Ruby On Rails and other developers? I’ve been using MySQL for about… 3 years now… maybe 4? But I wonder if this will affect other Developers who have used MySQL, strictly, for all of their projects?

Hmmmm… I know this has nothing to do with Affiliate/Internet Marketing, but in a way – it does… hope it doesn’t affect many people!

Sun announced an agreement to acquire MySQL AB, an open source icon and developer of one of the world’s fastest growing open source databases. This acquisition accelerates Sun’s position in enterprise IT to now include the $15 billion database market and reaffirms Sun’s position as the leading provider of platforms for the Web economy and its role as the largest commercial open source contributor.
