Appeal from Monty Widenius (MySQL)

Oracle is trying to acquire Sun, which means they will own MySQL.

Michael "Monty" Widenius, the creator of MySQL, is asking us urgently to help save MySQL from Oracle's clutches.

By writing to the European Commission (EC) you can support this cause and help secure the future development of the product MySQL as an Open Source project.

This is the post by the creator of MySQL:

NAME
msql2mysql - convert mSQL programs for use with MySQL SYNOPSIS
msql2mysqlC-source-file ... DESCRIPTION
Initially, the MySQL C API was developed to be very similar to that for the mSQL database system. Because of this, mSQL programs often can be converted relatively easily for use with MySQL by changing the names of the C API functions. The msql2mysql utility performs the conversion of mSQL C API function calls to their MySQL equivalents. msql2mysql converts the input file in place, so make a copy of the original before converting it. For example, use msql2mysql like this: shell> cp client-prog.c client-prog.c.orig shell> msql2mysql client-prog.c client-prog.c converted Then examine client-prog.c and make any post-conversion revisions that may be necessary. msql2mysql uses the replace utility to make the function name substitutions. See replace(1). COPYRIGHT
