Open Source Matters: MySQL Moves Closer to Closed
- dazzawazza 15y agoWhat I don't understand about this is: If it's released under an open source license why does anyone care what oracle does? Just fork it and move on. If it's that the core developers are stuck in Oracle then why don't all the big players that use MySQL create a fund to employ them and problem solved. Is there more going on that I don't see?
- Udo 15y agoI was wondering the same thing. There are promising open source forks, for example MariaDB (http://mariadb.org/ http://mariadb.org/) which works perfectly as a drop-in replacement for MySQL and it has additional features.
