Hehehe @Brainiac ,defender of the open source world. I wonder who has been punked when they have to break the bad news to clients that they have justed been punked commercially on MySql, I wonder how many bush fires will need to be put out in the name liabilites. I've just been having a thot of the dangerious traps that await such dependencies. The spirit of open source lives on, until the money runs outs. Just a question, is it possible to develop a local database? Not sure if this is low level or high level programming.....maybe something for the local open source community to look into?
 
Cheers.

Coming into this late (but wishing to pass a point across), here is what i think @aki youre missing about the spirit of open source. 

1: Some think of the code. 
2: Some design, write the code. 
3: Some design some fancy logos. 
4: Some handle the web host where the code is hosted. 
5: Some pay for any of this. 
6: Some Download the code and install on their machines. 
7: Some use that code from (6) above and never get back at 1, 2 & 3. 
8: some get back to these guys. 
9: some set up a system for (8) to get back to (1,2 or 3). 
10: Some volunteer to organize this (9) in a way that (1,2and3) can understand. 
11: Some cant understand (1 -10). 
12: So some who can, for the sake of (11)  using (9) tell (1,2 and 3) that 11 cant understand. 
13: so 1,2 and 3 modify the code so that it can be translated. 
14: some who understand 1-10 and 11 use 13 to make 11 unserstand..

Nth: and we call all this open source. 

Mister AKI a.k.a (with all pun intended) P.U.N.K, looks like youve been PNKD!
