News.com reports on comments from a panel discussion at the Software and Information Industry Association's Enterprise Software Summit. "The mix of license models has been controversial among open-source believers, but Urlocker said it's vital to MySQL's success. "We're not a religion, we're not a cult, were not a charity--we're a business," he said. "There's always going to be grassroots people...who see open source as a free ride, but there are corporate customers who are absolutely willing to pay for reliability, flexibility, support.""
