Wow. Who woulda thunk it. Sun announced Wednesday it was buying MySQL AB for a cool $1 Billion USD. Not bad for an Open Source database - and it seems to put to rest any doubts people had about the viability of Open Source companies. Of course MySQL is practically an icon in the web world . . . we use it at Ublip of course - as do most savvy web application builders. Overall, we think this kind of deal will continue to promote the use of open, affordable GPS tracking solutions.
