MySQL A.B., so far as I know, derives income from training, pubs sales, 
and enterprise support, with expense for salaries,  space leases (at 
least some staff work from home), and  equipment.  The value of such an 
organization is inevitably based on somebody's best guess about future 
revenues. I'm encouraged about the prospects of MySQL when I remember 
that Sun is a major sponsor of open source application software.
