Sun Buys MySQL for $1 Billion
January 19, 2008

“I hope this is good for the open source community!”
Sun Microsystems which ic currently endorsing PostgreSQL is about to buy MySQL AB for 1 billion dollars: $800 million in cash for MySQL’s privately held stock and another $200 million in options.
If that so, it is like Microsoft buying Linux… I hope that this will turn good for MySQL and MySQL users.
