Re: Oracle tried to buy MySQL

Centuries ago, Nostradamus foresaw when jzubac(at)internetsecure(dot)com ("John Zubac") would write:

No, that's not from an accurate history lesson.

Ingres *may* have had some tiny bit of code from University Ingres, in
the beginning, but developed considerably independently.

Postgres *may* have also had some tiny bit of code from University
Ingres, in the beginning, but, again, developed considerably
independently.

It is NOT reasonable to consider Postgres or PostgreSQL to be based on
Ingres. The divergence took place *so* long ago...
