Monty, the creator of MySQL is asking users to help, apparently Oracle is trying to take over Sun and if that happens it'll have (full) control over MySQL, that could mean the end of an amazing open source system.

I, Michael "Monty" Widenius, the creator of MySQL, is asking you urgently to help save MySQL from Oracle's clutches. Without your immediate help Oracle might get to own MySQL any day now. 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...

from what i hear orcle has no intention of keeping mySQL, they plan to resell it once they aquire sun microsystems, but these are rumors and who knows wat sun plans to do. Either way i do not believe this will affect mySQL, as its open source, they wont start selling it since they sell oracle, plus oracle is tageted towards business not indivual websites like mySQL is.
