The link begins with a notice that the web pages are no longer maintained. At the time I heard the code was terrible. On my connection, the opening page moved to a combined MySQL AB and SAP page http://www.mysql.com/products/maxdb/ and MaxDB. Thus, by pure logic alone Open Source methods suck! It could not even save a crappy product. Guess it just Maxed Out.

Dear Mr. President of SAP Shai Agassi,

No one cares very much what sort of license you release your products under. That's your decision. Why do you feel compelled to trash-talk Free and Open Source licenses? Pick the license you want and shut up. You couldn't even entertain us with a good rant- it was so fact-challenged and pointless it completely failed all rant quality tests. You sound like a whiny 13-year old, not the CEO of a large, successful company. All you've done is hose your credibility. Good job.

kthx,

Tuxchick
