Sun acquires MySQL arguably the most widely used database on the net. Read the announcement here. Jonathan Schwartz the CEO of Sun Microsystems, on his blog, has termed this acquisition as putting a billion dollars behind the 'M' in 'LAMP'.
Personally I feel this will turn out to be a very good thing for Open Source. I would rather it be Sun Microsystems than some other company. So does this sound the death knell for proprietary databases like Oracle?
