Oh, it was such a tear-jerking thing to see Monty Widenus pleading for people to "save MySQL" from the evil Oracle. Even more so when he told everyone he never wanted to make any money. Oh the sadness. But who believed him? Maybe he didn't start working on it for money, but nevertheless he made a decent buck of it. So why not put his money where his mouth is?
The reason why I'm writing about this now is that the taxation reports for the year 2009 have come. And it seems that Monty's children My and Max are quite wealthy. Both have over 7 million euros of wealth. And I don't think they've gotten it themselves.
So, maybe My and Max could save MySQL with their fortune, easily?
