EU objects to Oracle's takeover of Sun | KATU.com - News - Portland, Oregon | Business
It’s true that a good portion of MySQL would be safe even if Oracle decided to kill it. Those “safe” bits have already been forked as MariaDB, a project run by former MySQL creator, Monty Widenius. A separate “fork in spirit” also exists with Drizzle, led by former collegue of Monty, Brian Aker. It’s also true that many open-source alternatives exist to MySQL. For example, the PostgreSQL database is a viable alternative (and considered by some to even exceed MySQL in many ways). So, the notion that the EU would kill this deal over fear about MySQL seems… odd to me. There must be something else motivating this. I wonder where to look?

WHY MARRIED MEN VISIT PROSTITUTES
Or when these wives do try varied sex positions or acts which their husbands particularly desire, they do so reluctantly, listlessly, and guiltily, thus taking away all their husbands’ satisfaction.
Prostitutes, on the other hand, are in the business of satisfying their customers. For a stipulated fee, they will do almost anything a male desires; and will do so, in most instances, freely, guiltlessly, with verve.
