- lloeki 15y agoI don't get it. The article states: > Widenius, who lives in Helsinki, left Sun in 2009 when he became dissatisfied with the approach the company was taking to MySQL. So Monty left Sun way before Oracle's acquisition. How could he be blamed for that acquisition? IIUC he forked because he thought Sun and MySQL license were not up to his views of open source, so it's not like he sold and cared less. If I read history correctly, he's actually someone to back up.
