MySQL AB Settles With NuSphere

PCM2 writes "It appears that MySQL AB has settled its dispute with NuSphere over use of the MySQL trademarks. CEO Marten Mickos has punctuated the occasion with a donation to the FSF -- but there's no mention of what the actual terms of the settlement were, and there's no statement on NuSphere's site either (yet)."

As long as I don't have to start calling it GNU/MySQL I will be satisfied.

However

What has not been settled is the debate over the pronounciation of SQL.

Is it just me or is there a "as long as I don't have to call it GNU/ I'll be happy" post these days?

An idea

[sheWhoWalksWithToesL]

We could start pronouncing it "squirrel".... As in "uh-oh", the squirrel is hosed." or MY squirrel is more secure than YOUR squirrel."

You do understant that MySQL is not much more than a filesystem with a SQL interface, don't you?

Yes. What's so great about Oracle is that it uses Magic (tm) to store its data somewhere in the Matrix.

It's hard to be really creative when you are hoping for first post. I thought about saying 'imagine a beowulf cluster of these' but it just didn't seem to fit.

Well the rest of us all got a hand-typed comment from Marten [slashdot.org] himself! :-p
