Oracle Isn't a Linux Company (Motley Fool)Oracle Isn't a Linux Company (Motley Fool)Posted Oct 19, 2006 4:47 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)In reply to: Oracle Isn't a Linux Company (Motley Fool) by drag Parent article: Oracle Isn't a Linux Company (Motley Fool)
with postgres they could take a copy propriatary and try to improve it, the rest of the world (including some other very large companies) would continue useing the BSD licensed version
with mySQL they jsut buy the company and take it completely propriatary, the resto fo the world would have to form a development group to fork off the last GPL release (remember, almost all the development is done by one company and all outside contributions get assigned to that company)
it's just as easy to take MyySQL propriatary as it is Postgres (although it would require a investment of cash, which would gain them developers, customers, etc as well)
