Well, I didn't plan to give my opinion on this subject publicly.
But, I was alerted by the last post of Mr. Johnston and am
concerned about this interpretation I refer to.

I have to admit that English is not my native language and I may
miss a lot of meaning. But this is the situation of the MySQL
people as well, and I know English good enough (and the art of
negotiation and politics) to feel strongly what happens here.

Incidentally, this morning I received a long elaboration about
spam, written by a long-standing spam fighter. We all know that
this subject is equally unpleasant. He closes his remarks with
the following, which I think applies to the recent dialogue as
well:

          I remember when I first read Orwell's "1984." The
          concept that really got my attention was
          DoubleSpeak. I thought he was really out there.

          Orwell was an optimist.

          Paul Myers, talkbiz.com

Reread both of the posts of MySQL and nusphere in question and
make up your mind.
