Sun acquiring MySQL – Terrorism wins with the OSAMa stack

That’s a cheap dig, but I heard this news this morning and couldn’t resist. “Shockwaves” don’t describe it, but it’s a big shocker for the web dev community this week. What will it mean for those of us that implement MySQL? Probably very little actually.
Sun will keep it open and we’ll still have our LAMPs. They’ll have greater influence over features which optimize their Java or OpenSolaris products. We can hope they’ll fuel faster development and maybe we’ll get some added goodies with their combo.
At least we know where to find OSAMa. Maybe their first task will be to market it with a different stack name?
