It is less than a month that MySQL received fundings and it is already being
quicked off Php, its larger advocate.

I am strongly in favour of capitalism and profit, but it is amazing to notice
how fast the financial world can destroy companies. This will never happen to
PostgreSQL, which will continue creating value wherever it is being used.

Just my 2 cents.
