[ MySQL changes client library to GPL.]
This is _very_ interesting, and not surprising. MySQL got users to
adopt MySQL, then they change the client license to get users to
purchase commercial, non-GPL licenses.
We need to use this opportunity to encourage PHP folks to switch to
PostgreSQL.
Notice the second URL mentions Interbase before PostgreSQL, which I find
curious.
