MySQL exec expects GPL licensing to remain

摘要

MySQL, the open source database now property of Oracle Corp., has stayed the same in such aspects as its availability under the GPL, but some traits will change under its new management. For example, Oracle will be more tight-lipped about product plans, a MySQL official said last week. Devotees of the database also can expect continued improvements in areas such as performance and arnstronger emphasis on Windows, said Kaj Arno, vice president of the MySQL community for the still-functioning Sun Microsystems Inc. branch in Munich. (Oracle's Sun acquisition has not been completed yet in Germany.)
