Ned,

> 1) No mention of PostgreSQL, as you say

According to Stephen, this is because the purpose of the article was to focus
on the irony of SCO using GPL software, after their attacks on the GPL.
We are not GPL.

> 2) The GPL angle (see my other post about NuSphere), and the fact that they
chose to distribute the GPL version of MySQL, not strike a corporate deal
with MySQL AB

Yeah, interesting. Or, in a word, hypocrisy.
