Hi Bob,

Well, this is wave of cry raised by author of mySQL some weeks ago.
You can find site with his letter on few languages.
And you can read comments of people to him on this.

Many people say that they support him,
But exists IMO adequate comments which point something like this:

    Hey man, you have SOLD your baby for billion of cache to Sun.
    This means you have loose control over it.
    Do not try now return control back. This is not fair game.


Actually I have predict and told to everyone that Oracle have started game
against mySQL yet in 2005. First step was purchase of InnoDB engine.

My prediction to you is:
    mySQL future is in dark.
    they self have start become very greedy and aggressive.
