Indeed, and quite the opposite to MySQL when we all knew that oracle
would destroy it or constrain it, before Sun sold out to them, and
what we all forecast of course came true, oracle has done so badly
with it, its original author Monty came back with a fork, one that
every distro just about has changed to! Infact I dont know anyone
using mysql today, most sane admins moved to mariadb where it is in
safe hands. hopefuly Timo has a legal  back door open to do the same
should things change and go hte way mysql did.
