Not that there would be a "Kenyan Position" but my personal opinion is that Open Source is larger than MySQL and Sun. Maybe you could have predicted the end of MySQL, which is still not probable, but not Open Source in general. Nobody can buy the worldwide open source community.

I have several issues in my head that are struggling to find words: 1) that Jonathan Schwatz, my favorite CEO blogger, is moving on (this is just that sentimentalclinging - "don't go!") but more importantly 2) this buy-out may signify the end of Open Source as we know it.
What is Kenya's position on the matter? I imagine that this has been discussed in the technology policy circles?
