Mysql? Was doing really well even among the OSS crowd until Oracle, and post Oracle still seems to be doing alright.
Postgresql while not traditionally open core, there are a couple of companies that employ core contributors that sell addons fairly similar to the way Mysql used to(maybe still does I haven't looked at Mysql in a while.)
- davidp 13y agoXen/XenSource seemed to go OK.
- Nux 13y agoI'm not very sure about that. It certainly worked, but Xen lost a LOT of market to KVM, to the point they open sourced the whole thing (maybe a little too late?) in order to slow down the fall. At least this is my impression. At the end of the day I do like Xen and Citrix, they were/are certainly good for virtualisation on linux.
