Red Hat to work with MySQL regardless of EU SEOUL -- Red Hat Inc., the biggest seller of the Linux operating system, said it hopes to continue to work closely with Sun Microsystems Inc.'s MySQL database regardless of the outcome of a European Commission antitrust complaint. “We work to really interoperate with any database our customers choose to use,” Red Hat Chief Executive Officer Jim Whitehurst told reporters in Seoul Thursday. Whitehurst said he had no direct comment on the European Union regulator's objections. This week, Oracle Corp., the world's biggest database software maker, was told by EU regulators that its US$7.4 billion purchase of Sun may break antitrust rules even though the U.S. approved the deal. Sun's MySQL database is the world's most popular open-source database program — downloaded more than 60,000 times a day. |
