MySQL preparing for IPO
Via Matthew Aslett at CBR:
"We are planning to go public," Mickos told Computer Business Review in an exclusive interview, adding that the Uppsala, Sweden-based database management vendor is in no hurry to go public after raising $18.5m in Series C funding this time last year and $39m in total.
When it does go public, MySQL will be one of only a handful of open source vendors to do so. Red Hat, VA Linux (now VA Software), and Caldera (now SCO Group) went out in the boom. RHAT is the only stock doing well at this point.
