Open source software bought for $1 billion
Sun Microsystems has bought the world's most popular open source database software MySQL for $1 billion.
This is big news. We use MySQL here at WorldTV, as do many other websites, and the deal means open source software finally means big business.
Exciting.
If you've enjoyed this post you can receive future musings, as I write them, via email. I post about once a week on average. More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video. Merci.
