Well, most companies became huge corporations (such as Google, Facebook

I don't agree with that, I think that MySQL fits in big corporations (some of
them, obviously, not all).
But anyways, yes, I do think that Sun will work hard and will spread MySQL
even more, as well, as improve it.
As Alan Cox said, Sun bought OO and, they have been working really hard in
that piece of software and they've improved it quite a lot.

For the old Caldera orphans on the list, maybe Sun will become what
Caldera wanted (or needed) to be?? Ric
