Sun Microsystems Inc. has acquired MySQL AB, the maker of the MySQL database management system, a move that Sun hopes will make it a more substantial player in the database market.

Maybe Sun is onto something here. The linux comunity dismantled the Solaris product line by providing no-cost replacement for Solaris and taking innovative ideas into kernel development.
What sun is doing amounts to taking the best Linux products and incorporating them into their product line at the same time as leaving them Open Source(d). A good clustered File System (see earlier post), a Database and other tools.
