Comments on: 100% subscription renewal http://openquery.com/blog/100-subscription-renewal About MySQL, Drizzle, MariaDB and more!

I do think most of OQ's posts are MySQL/technical in nature? I didn't do a complete tally to check though. In any case, I do have a broader interest covering OSS in general and also business models, and OQ is also kinda like my experiment to prove a point - namely that it's entirely doable to build a business that doesn't merely try to extract as much cash as possible out of its clients, but instead deliver pretty much 1:1 value - and that this can be done sustainably, profitably, and support significant growth. That's the objective of the post, not plugging the company as such. But I will keep an eye on it. Thanks again for your feedback! Point taken, Mark!

I remember Arjen complaining about MySQL using planetmysql for "marketing" messages in the past, and wonder how this is any different for Open Query. Let's get back to the technical side of things Arjen! ;) I’ve seen a number of posts like this from Open Query on planetmysql now – and fail to see how they are “technically focused on MySQL”.
