[OH Updates] Schematics and copyright

[Andrew Stone]

Maybe but probably those same violations have existed in other very popular
Java-based software, and certainly if they existed now they existed before
Oracle bought Sun.  So the end result is a "submarine" maneuver aimed at
destroying (or leeching off of) a vibrant community and compelling set of
products built by an entire ecosystem that provide greater freedoms than the
competitor (Apple).  I totally feel echos of the SCO debacle, and suspect
Oracle for buying Sun merely for this purpose.  While Java may not be my
favorite language it is sad that this tremendous accomplishment of many
talented engineers end up used in such a way.

I will be "deprecating" mySql in favor of postgres... and looking around for
berkeleyDB alternatives.

Cheers!
Andrew
