I believe that announcemtn would be characteristic of the case of "money not stink." There are a lot of people out there running MySQL-based applications on Linux, and it is in RHAT's interests for as many of the resulting distribution support licenses, feeding their bottom line, as possible. This is very much like Oracle having "joint ventures" with SAP even though they sell a directly competing product. If Oracle can sell more database licenses, that's money for them even if they didn't get to sell an Oracle Applications license... -- select 'cbbrowne' || '@' || 'ntlug.org'; http://linuxdatabases.info/info/internet.html "The cost of living has just gone up another dollar a quart." -- W.C.
