NuSphere and MySQL settle

[Posted November 8, 2002 by corbet]

NuSphere and MySQL have issued a press release announcing the resolution of their long-standing legal dispute. "The settlement resolves all outstanding issues between the two companies including ownership and use of trademarks and domain names and assignment to MySQL AB of copyrights for all NuSphere contributions to the MySQL program, and MySQL AB has issued a letter to NuSphere Corporation verifying GPL compliance."

It's regrettable that nothing more substantive has came out of the resolution of this conflict given that in many ways this showdown was (or could have been) precedent setting for the legal standing of the GPL.

It seems NuSphere gave the code they developed,
"the Gemini technology" to MySQL AB.
