Kaj Arnö mulls cash crisis, de-listing threat, job cuts, and strategy rewrite at commercial MySQL purveyor
While the foundation and plc might have different goals and missions, they could align on some topics. For instance, the adoption of MariaDB Server – the free and open source software licensed under GPL v2, which the foundation helps manage – does not harm the plc, Arnö argued.
With the deal amounting to €500,000 per year, it would help the foundation take a step toward making MariaDB Server a multi-vendor product,"not in name only but in practice so that we have independence of MariaDB PLC," Arnö said. MariaDB was forked out of MySQL, the open source relational database created in 1995. MySQL was bought by Sun Microsystems in 2008, but when Oracle bought Sun in 2010, MySQL co-founder Michael Widenius forked the code to a new open source database, MariaDB."Monty" Widenius is no longer CTO of the plc, but still advises the company. Arnö has worked closely with Widenius for decades, both on MySQL and MariaDB.
"It's so evident that all databases need a cloud version. You're not the proper database if you don't have a cloud version," he said.
