If you’re interested, stop by http://www.infinidb.org for a visit.

With out further explanation, that can only mean a few things. There code base includes code from third parties that they don’t have an agreement to open source ( sort of like Java 6 can’t be completely open source as parts of the miscellaneous multimedia library are licensed code Sun didn’t write), there code started from another code base they licensed form someone else and don’t have permission yet to release it ( Like Solaris before it changed its agreement with Sco), or they licensed it to a third party and now have to assuage the concerns of those they licensed it to that they are still getting value for their license over and above what the open sourced version would provide.

In any case, it appears that they mean well. The way the Myql Community works, they won’t see significant uptake of their product unless it is open sourced. So they are only hurting themselves, if they keep it closed.

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:40:58 +0000 http://www.xaprb.com/blog/?p=1031#comment-16328 Doesn’t it depend on the license (GPL, LGPL, BSD..) and whether modifications were made? Maybe John as Director of Engineering needs a little time to find out from his engineers what they did? Or maybe Calpont is just trying to benefit from saying “Open Source” without understanding their obligations?

Releasing source code under an open source license doesn’t require a partnership agreement. Maybe I’m missing something here, but…
