Did you read the article? It addresses this question and talks about the reasons to use the traditional style open source license that MySQL used vs. this new BSL license.
- GavinMcG 10y agoOne of the HN Guidelines is to avoid that introductory bit: > Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."
- cowsandmilk 10y agoThe article does not discuss the history of MySQL. MySQL existed for 5 years before it went GPL[1]. Understanding what license was used for the first 5 years of the company and whether that impeded success would be useful.
