I meant whether the whois of "MySQL.Com" is also Oracle -
It might still belong to one of pure OS holdouts,
in which case the "like attacking a homeless guy in order to rob him"
might be totally correct.
But here in front of a proper keyboard checking that this URL is
belonging to sun (WTF ???) the comparison is somewhat off base ;-)
