"Here are just two things of note: Oracle has suggested it will offer support for the MySQL code, undercutting the company, and Oracle is already distributing the open source database management system.
'They have hinted to us that they will,' said Mickos, indicating that the database giant is planning to repeat its October 2006 Unbreakable Linux plan, which saw it undercut Red Hat with enterprise Linux support."

I wonder how the development of 11g fits into that picture.

It's a real shame that they moved into "Unbreakable Linux" and (now, apparently) "Unbreakable MySQL" before getting "Unbreakable Oracle" right :)

You can be sure that Larry Ellison is up to something there. There is only one lord of the DBMS, and he does not share power.

There was already a lot of talk that the Oracle RDBMS had fully
saturated its market. The only money to be made is in add-on features,
(which they are happy to buy from other companies) ... or support
money. Wait -- did you think they were offerring free support?
