| Under no circumstances should it be thought that Oracle is doing
| this out of any sense of altruism, and therein lies the rub.
| Oracle wants to knock Red Hat off the top of the enterprise Linux mountain
| -- no ifs, ands, or buts. And, if Mickos is correct, it will want to
| do the same to MySQL. Even with selfish motivations, Oracle may have
| stumbled on the formula that only FLOSS allows.
