MySQL facts (Score 2)

I am MySQL team member and will post some comments about some confusing wrong comments here: 1. Is MySQL open source? After reading all these comments I am not sure anymore that we speak in same terms. At all my knowledge this is what we can get on URL http://web.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQL-3.23/mysql-3. 23.14-alpha.tar.gz is called MySQL source. This do not miss even a one line of it's source. Why some people claim that MySQL isn't open source? I am glad to correct my opinions about terms if they are wrong. 2. If you, your boss or whoever says that transactions are essential for you then of course you should use best choice for you. Why to flamewar around it. 3. GNU. MySQL is not GNU software and not claimed to be it. We have published some versions under GNU but only few of them. Why to flame around this? MySQL if free most most types usage but not for all.
