Amazing!
That’s a a very smart and timely business decision (although I personally dislike MySQL for many good reasons… or I believe so).
In other news it looks like Geronimo could loose some workforce very soon… sad news as the product is also very good. If it ever happens that IBM leaves the project, I hope there will be a strong enough community to keep pushing the project forward. I don’t wish Geronimo the same future as Apache Harmony for which there is no interest left since Java has been opensourced…
