I think you are overreacting, have you read Oracle's public position
on this ? I think not:
http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Oracle-Corporation-NASDAQ-ORCL-1090000.html
basically it's a commitment to continue to develop and support MySQL
and it's customers (including increasing R&D budget of MySQL). Oracle
has no reason to end MySQL, they fit perfectly in their portfolio to
compete against MS SQL server in the SMB market. Oracle DB is too
expensive for a SMB to buy it so it will never go there, that's why
they need MySQL. IMO, those petitions and sites of "save MySQL" only
spreads FUD which is not good. Have you browsed Oracle's website and
research your self what is their position on this? take a look at this
FAQ on Sun acquisition:
http://www.oracle.com/us/sun/038563.pdf
There is, at least for now, nothing to worry about. It's the same FUD
and negative vibes that appeared when Sun bought MySQL. What happened?
nothing...
