Speculation abounds, rumors persist...even conspiracy theories about how and why Sun acquired MySQL will continue for weeks, months, probably years.

If you want Jonathan Schwartz's take, just check out his blog. He took time Saturday to post a full explanation. No it won't stop the conspiracy theories but it's an interesting read that's for sure.

Hopefully the next blog post will explain what Sun's been doing, or what it's not doing, with StorageTek ;)
