MySQL co-founder quits Sun
Michael “Monty” Widenius, the original developer of the open source MySQL database, has left Sun Microsystems and is starting his own company, Monty Program Ab, he said in a blog post Thursday.
Widenius and Sun had a slightly rocky relationship since the vendor bought MySQL last year for $1 billion. In a much-discussed November blog post, he trashed Sun’s decision to give MySQL 5.1 a “generally available” designation, saying it was riddled with serious bugs.
