PC Week's (now eWEEK's) birth year—1984—was a busy one for technology. One platform that began to take shape at that time was focused not on hardware or software but on licensing. Richard Stallman quit his job at MIT to start the GNU project, an effort to produce a clone of the Unix operating system to be distributed under a license that would ensure users' freedom to run, modify and redistribute the software. The open-source model has since driven much innovation in enterprise technology.

REVIEW: iLuminate sets out to address data warehousing limitations with its iLuminate 4.0 correlation database.

What will become of the open-source MySQL database after database giant Oracle acquires Sun Microsystems? After considering the database market, Oracle's and Sun's strengths, and history, eWEEK Labs' Jeff Cogswell thinks that MySQL and its customers can expect the database to live on, although perhaps not exactly as we know it now.
TECH ANALYSIS: IBM has DB2, not to mention Informix, while Sun Microsystems has MySQL. Will one trump the others? eWEEK Labs examines the overlap and synergies between IBM's and Sun's database platforms, and what customers should expect should an acquisition go forward.
