Developers concern over Oracle takeover of Sun Microsystems
With the database giant takeover of Sun Microsystems, what will happen to the open-source community?
Remember that Java and MySql is the most popular combination around for any project. What will happen to companies or individual who is still using MySql if Oracle decides to license it? What will happen to Java, the most important of WORA (write-once run anywhere) platform around.
I do hope that Oracle will continue Java and MySql as the open source and free to use program else I do have to switch working with other language fast.
I do feel a pity for the takeover. Not to mention that I’ve been there for Industrial attachment for 3 months plus only two years ago. I have foresee that the company might have a problem if it continues the path of selling Solaris servers at a exorbitant price. And being proprietary, it just did not have the edge over Dell which just bang on shipping servers with more user-friendly Windows installed
Well, even Ballmer is lost for words.
