This blog will be mainly focused on my own experiences with computers and software. Both I am using now purely as a user and hobbyist. Also I comment on interesting news about ICT, privacy and combinations of both. In deze blog zal het voornamelijk gaan over ervaringen met computers en software waar ik tegenwoordig alleen nog hobbymatig mee bezig ben en mijn commentaar op imo interessante nieuwsberichten op het gebied van ICT, privacy en de combinatie van beide.

Oracle may "fork itself" with recent MySQL moves

Ars Technica has an opinion article about the way Oracle is moving with MySQL. With commercial only options, support contracts raised from $650 to $2000 it undoubtly makes more money but kills the OSS community around MySQL. Something Larry promised not to do in negotiatons with the EU. He will come away with it because small startups forked MySQL succesfully so it ain't dead yet. I personally think the great winner will be PostgreSQL because of the technical superiority and because it is still OSS.
