Hi,

Anyway, Yahoo reported this morning
(http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/000628/ca_va_linu.html) that MySQL formed a
strategic alliance with VA Linux and released their MySQL product under
the GPL license.

by going GPL and adding transactions they deserve at least a look :)

I wonder how they resolve(d) the problem with SleepyCat/BSD-DB (which
they use for transaction support) _not_ being GPL .
