Basically the old founder of MySQL sold the company but now wants it back?.
Gee, I wonder what would happen when/if they piss off Oracle
completely and Oracle decides to stop MySQL development, and lay off
all programmers. On top of whose new source code will they base their
builds? Who will be hurt the most? Oracle or MariaDB?
Who developed 5.6? Oracle or MariaDB? don't answer, it's a rethorical
question...
But I see the usual troublemaking suspects are at work, encouraging
forks... and ZDNet plays its act in a predictable way... just like
they did with OO.o and LO...
All these series of stories are just regurgitating and trying to
create the perception of a 'momentum' for MariaDB and a 'decay' in
MySQL, in the hopes of seeing that happen everywhere aka whishful
thinking + self-fulfilling prophecy.

Me? I'd prefer a healthy MySQL with healthy investment by Oracle, as
has been happening the last few years, rather than market and
mindhsare split in two versions of essentially the same GPLP code,
only with branding wars and FUD... just because some people do not
like the new project owner.
No, don't answer, I know what you guys are going to say...
