Open Source DB Rides into the Sun

Published by ksanders under MySQL, Sun, database

It was announced today that Sun is purchasing MySQL for around $1 Billion (USD).  This equates to $800 million for privately held stock and acquisition of another $200 million in remaining stock.  I guess we will have to wait and see if this is a good deal for MySQL or if this will be the end of one of the best open source companies since 1995.
