MySQL High End Features Should be Closed Source & for Paid Customers Only MySQL的高端功能，应关闭源＆为付费用户只
I am serious.我很严重。 While MySQL is a great open source database, I have full respect to Sun’s plan to provide high-end features for paying customers only.而MySQL的是一个伟大的开放源代码数据库，我有充分尊重Sun的计划，以提供高端的功能，付费用户只。 After all they are in the business of making money and not philanthropy, last I checked.毕竟他们是在生意赚钱，而不是慈善事业，去年我查了。
Why is the blogosphere and MySQL community up in arms against the move?为什么是博客和MySQL社区，在武器反对动议？ I think it is extremely selfish to try to force Sun to abort its plan of providing high-end features for paid customers only.我觉得这是非常自私的尝试，迫使孙放弃其计划提供高品质的高端功能，为付费用户只。 Any paid customer of MySQL would welcome the move and, as expected freeloaders will disagree.任何支付客户的MySQL会欢迎这一举措，正如预期freeloaders会不同意。 But who cares?但谁在乎呢？ After all most of the freeloaders don’t contribute a dime.毕竟大部分的freeloaders不贡献一毛钱。
The best thing Sun can do is offer high end features free to significant source code contributors to MySQL codebase or community.最好的事情孙能做的是提供高端功能的免费显着的源代码贡献者到MySQL的CODEBASE或社区。
Do you disagree?你是否同意？ Let me know why.让我知道为什么。

I’m generally ambivalent.我很普遍矛盾。 I support free software/open source (money and code).我支持免费软件/开放源代码（金钱和代码） 。 I’ll be interested to see what the features are, and whether similar features are prevented from being committed to the base?我将有兴趣，看看有什么特点，以及有否类似的功能，阻止正在致力于该基地？
“Any paid customer of MySQL would welcome the move” “任何支付客户的MySQL会欢迎这一举措”
We’re a paid customer.我们是一家支付的客户。 In general, the feeling I get from other people who depend commercially on open projects is that we would rather (and do) make donations and contributions public because the shared infrastructure makes us more efficient.在一般的感觉，我从其他人谁取决于商业开放的项目是，我们宁愿（做） ，使捐赠和公众，因为共用基础设施，使我们更有效率。
But, we’re not Sun or Microsoft.但是，我们无法太阳或Microsoft 。 We’re small software companies.我们正在小的软件公司。 So, reducing the barriers to entry in our markets, reducing the market inefficiencies, is in our best interest.因此，减少进入市场的障碍在我们的市场，降低市场效率，是我们的最佳利益。
But, I’m with you on the melodrama.但是，我与你就闹剧。 What’s that all about?什么的所有呢？
