As is MySQL. They say you can't produce a non-GPL client that talks to
their server via the protocol. They say they will enforce this via
patents.
Uhhh perhaps we should verify this first?
J
_VIA PATENTS_!?!??!? [Chris says, with an incredulous look...]
Are they _totally_ suicidal?
That's doubtless a wonderful route if their plan is to get MySQL
removed from "open source" collections, and to get a bunch of Slashdot
"script kiddies" to start pulling SCO-like DOS attacks on their web
sites.
If they decide to define that as "success," they can doubtless attain
'success' beyond their wildest dreams...
