     @greve monty as in mysql monty? Dual licensing wasn't the best idea it seems to me ...

     @jwildeboer Yes. And indeed dual licensing is disappearing, the cost too often outweighs the benefit.

     @greve at least Monty got enough from selling to SUN and to ORCL ... But MySQL has lost community.

     @jwildeboer Monty has been talking about how MariaDB and ODA are aiming to reassemble community & defragment.

     @greve he's lost the brand. Better to team up with other projects to make a perfect data layer absed on open standards.
