Open source here to stay, says MySQL CEO Marten Mickos

,----[ Quote ]
| "Microsoft can use [its] money in other ways to threaten free and open-source 
| software, and I'm sure that they have," Mickos said. "But I think we will see 
| less of that in the future because they've done it and it hasn't helped 
| them." Many Microsoft customers use open-source products and find it 
| challenging when the company makes it harder to integrate Microsoft products 
| and open-source software, he said.     
| 
| "I'm not too worried," Mickos said. "This open source movement is so strong 
| that nothing can stop it anymore."
