I think most people would agree that a large part of MySQL's audience has come from the bundling of MySQL libraries withPHP. Getting PostgreSQL to fill this void would be a very positive development. If concerns about licensing are a major driver here, I would think that PostgreSQL's simple Berkeley license would comparevery favorably to the tangled web of Interbase history of corporate intrigue and community forking. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Momjian" <pgman@candle.pha.pa.us> To: "Josh Berkus" <josh@agliodbs.com> Cc: "Joe Conway" <mail@joeconway.com>; "Advocacy (PostgreSQL)" <pgsql-advocacy@postgresql.org>; "PostgreSQL-general" <pgsql-general@postgresql.org> Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2003 5:59 PM Subject: Re: [GENERAL] [pgsql-advocacy] interesting PHP/MySQL thread > Josh Berkus wrote: > > Joe, > > > > > Interesting thread (php-dev subj: removing bundled libmysql): > > > http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=105621066832429&w=2 > > > > > > I particularly liked this post: > > > (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=105621207500778&w=2) > > > > Boy, Monty's making friends all over, ain't he? > > [ CC to general.] > > [ MySQL changes client library to GPL.] > > This is _very_ interesting, and not surprising.
