No More Solaris
The future of Solaris is looking to be bleak at best. Is this really going to have any impact on the open source community? There are countless free operating systems available. Good ones too.

Free MySQL Free Internet
Monty, the creator of the MySQL database, says that Oracle acquiring Sun could be the end of MySQL. MySQL is a major competitor for Oracle's proprietary offerings.
LAMP stacks, which make up a huge part of the Internet depend hugely on MySQL and would be affected in a big way by this acquisition.
But would it affect the Internet as a whole? Sure, there would be a sizable impact but it would by no means shut things down for good. There are other open source databases out there. MySQL happens to be a great one and it would be a shame to see it go.
