Sun acquires some of my fav software projects...

[Mitch Wiedemann <]

First, Sun buys MySQL (my favorite rdbms) for one billion dollars.

Then, they buy "Innotek" the creators of "VirtualBox" which I also find 
really incredibly useful for running Windows within GNU/Linux.

Both projects have a dual-licensing scheme with one of the licenses 
being the GPL (which is nice).  I hope that Sun can make some money on 
the projects without destroying the developer/user communities.
