* MySQL is an established international company. MySQL has been battle tested in the market place. It has over 6 million installations and over 40,000 downloads every day. After harvesting huge efficiencies from using open source software such as Linux and Apache, many companies are now targeting their database infrastructure for the next round of cost savings through commoditization. Used by more than 100 top software and hardware companies: Agilent, Avery Dennison, BMC Software, Cisco, Critical Path, Ericsson, H-P, Hyperion, LeapFrog SchoolHouse, Lucent, NEC, Network Associates, Nokia, Novell, Proofpoint, Quest Software, SAP, Sterling Commerce, Siemens, Symantec * Note on Dual Licensing: The MySQL database is available at no cost for open source projects through an Open Source / Free Software General Public License (GPL), and is also available through a commercial license backed by MySQL. Under the commercial license option, companies can develop and distribute applications without opening their source code to the public. This “quid pro quo” solution benefits everyone. The open source GPL license has created a huge user community with millions of developers. The testing and feedback from this community continually improves the product. Since most corporations are neither willing nor able to publish their intellectual property, the commercial licensing option provides the benefits and support they need for a modest fee. Peer Review Leads to Better Software Reliability Reasoning, the leading provider of automated software inspection (ASI) services, announced the results of an independent study it conducted of MySQL -- the leading Open Source database. Reasonings inspection study shows that the code quality of MySQL was six times better than that of comparable proprietary code. A key quality indicator is defect density, which is defined as the number of defects found per thousand lines of source code. Reasonings conclusion that the MySQL database sof
