What product? I assert that MySQL without the operating system is utterly useless. Where is the MySQL distribution of the OS, please? According to you, they took no risk, because they took for granted that someone else is going to do the OS for them.

Your cherry picking is wrong on so many levels, it's not even funny. Red Hat do _different_ things to MySQL. They took plenty of risk when they created RHEL or are we now rewriting history?

Also, RH pour a lot into PostgreSQL, and have for a long time. But apparently that doesn't save them from being 'parasites', because they contributed to a free software project that Florian doesn't approve of. Or something. (If there is logic here, I'm not seeing it.)
