They wont kill it . They will increase the price of it. That will make MySQL to less popular for sure .


I don't think so. In my experience, the only folks who pay for MySQL are big conservative companies who must have support contracts, and companies who bundle MySQL with their closed source products.

My gut feeling is that folks who will be directly impacted by Oracle price increases represent a tiny percentage of MySQL users.
