MySQL Team Wins Golden Penguin Bowl 33
ChocLinux writes "The MySQL geeks came out on top in this year's Golden Penguin Bowl at LinuxWorld Boston. Host Jeremy Allison hit a few raw nerves with the opposing Oracle team, introducing them as members of the Berkeley DB product line, 'which Oracle will soon kill.' ZDNet has posted some photos and commentary on the event."

And it didn't say Oracle was about to kill MySQL, just the BDB engine, one of several engines inside the MySQL database.
Oracle also bought the InnoDB storage engine, a far more ominous aquisition, as InnoDB is the engine you use if you want to use MySQL as a real database.
I thought the summary (and the posters and editors) actually pretty accurate. Jeremy Allison, of Samba I believe, said exactly what the summary said he did.
