I get the feeling the big players just aren't sure where to postion themselves. It’s fascinating to see how the open source movement is developing.

Since they have acquired MySQL then Sun is likely to control the IT field with Eclipse and having MySQL to be included in Eclipse. This will favor Suns role and hence bring more profit and popularity for Java. I think Sun is intending to keep Java alive and is afraid Java will loose its popularity now.

My dad is a truck driver, that hauls special commodities. My dad hauled 8 truck loads of bamboo flooring, $150k a truck load, to the CEO of Sun's mansion. Quite unbelievable how rich the CEO of Sun is. They can afford it. lmao. My dad is a truck driver, that hauls special commodities.

Like the IBM , in 2005 opened up the DB2 source. This is a era of Community participation and even Sun goes for Mysql Development on the Solaris platform its appriciatable that the chunk of Mysql DB will remain.
