Will MySQL continue to develop the LAMP architecture?

A few months ago, MySql was sold to Sun for $1 billion. As the boss of Mysql, the former CEO of MySql and the current senior vice president of Sun's database, MartenMickos, recently appeared to be in a bad mood. Why?

MySql was sold to Sun for $1 billion a few months ago. As the boss of Mysql, the former CEO of MySql and the current senior vice president of Sun's database, Marten Mickos, recently seems in a bad mood. Why? Marten Mickos was questioned at the Linux Fund Cooperation Summit held at the University of Texas super Computing Center on April 9, April 9: Is MySql going to be out of the Linux system?

Users in the Linux environment are worried that after Sun acquired Mysql, it is likely that later support will be transferred to the SAMP architecture (Solaris, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python ), instead of LAMP architecture (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python), the latter brings a huge server market of $21 billion per year to Linux.

Marten Mickos replied in his speech that Sun/MySql will continue to support Linux, but he also added that if Sun no longer supports Linux one day, follow the Mysql authorization license, any developer or company can take the MySql code and modify it on the Linux system. However, such a statement makes some Linux agents confused, because maintaining a DBMS database management system like MySql is a very arduous and huge task, most developers and agents want MySql to be compatible with the latest version of Linux with the same quality and speed as before, and developers only need to write their own code on the LAMP architecture.

In addition, although Marten Mickos indicates that Sun will continue to support GPLv3 licenses, that is, the latest and most popular open-source licenses, Linux developers also know that Sun has its own license agreement, that is, the CDDL License (Common Development and Distribution License). OpenSolaris is under the CDDL License. If Sun improves Mysql with the permission of CDDL, it will limit its developers to use the latest MySql in applications. However, there seems to be nothing to worry about at present. Even if Sun's Mysql and Linux are not so closely related, Sun and redhat and ubuntu are both partners, sun should maintain and improve the prosperity of the MySql LAMP architecture for a long time.
