[Leaplist] Sun close sourcing MySQL

[Derek Konigsberg]

The actual article, if you read it, doesn't say that exactly.
The actual article says that they'll start offering some *new* features 
only in the pay-for version.  (ok, its possible some of these currently 
exists in the open code base)

Now for the all-important grains of salt...
1) The article is really just someone's interpretation of a slide from 
some presentation we can't see.
2) The Slashdot article title is just someone talking out their ass, to 
stir up misdirected discussion
3) The title of this list post is a further simplification of the Slashdot 
article title, in a way that is even more incorrect, and thus more 
shocking.
