You (perhaps inadvertently) confirm my point. There is no logical reason to kill the MySQL community. On the other hand, there are abundant points to be acquired by preserving it. Not least is the possibility of a fork taking flower. Said possible fork is decidedly against Oracle's interests, so I think that this will not happen. Scott and Larry are too smart to let this happen. (Proviso: I once met Scott and Larry at various conferences. I have no shares in Oracle but I do admire their creative work and vision.) I stand to gain nothing as apologist for their vision, I simply approve of it. A.
