OraFAQ.com runs on MySQL??

Interesting factoid I picked up here.. which pointed me here and which pointed to the proof point here. (didn’t even take 6 degrees of separation)
Apparently the Oracle FAQ site orafaq.com actually runs on MySQL – not Oracle. That seemed very odd at first, but then it makes sense in the context of the cost of an Oracle commercial license. I’m surprised Oracle has not given them a license “at a large discount”…
