SUNshine makes MySQL happy

Well, well, well... my last posting mentioned a link on slashdot where there was an announcement about MySQL mentioning intentions of close sourcing some of the stuff for their paying customers. As expected, there was a lot of hue and cry over it. Guess some in the PostgreSQL camp were happy rolling their I-Told-You-So eyes too.
It turns out that SUN and others in their camp have paid heed to all and again this link on slashdot says that they WON'T be close sourcing afterall. Interesting stuff this.. I wonder how many times companies have even been influenced in such an OPEN manner to do something of this sort. But GOOD I say :)
