Interesting news this morning, just as the 2009 MySQL Conference is starting. As is being reported all over the place, Oracle has agreed to buy Sun at $9.50 per share, giving them to a ton of great technology (Solaris, ZFS, MySQL, DTrace, etc.).

#2 You don't get it, mySQL is now tainted by Oracle. It has no future.
Yucky stinky tainted (replace with stupid comment from Richard Stallman).
It has proprietary cooties all over it.
