Don,

lately, it has been my fear that IBM is going to replace DB2 for the AS/400 
with mySQL, because it is open software. 

The pro sitte of oss: as a big company you do not have to maintain the product 
yourself.

And I do not like to put (some/more) stupid ideas in others' heads, too, so let 
the rumour die, quickly.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler
