Webyog, based in Bangalore, India, has open sourced SQLyog, their GUI MySQL management tool. They’re following MySQL’s dual licensing model, split between a Community Edition under the GPL and a proprietary Enterprise Edition. In an interview with one of the founders, they estimate about 10% of code in the Enterprise Edition isn’t released in the Community Edition.
In the past, I’ve heard (mainly from friends and collegues based in India or who visit regularly promoting open source) that India is more a consumer than a producer of open source software. Perhaps that’s changing.
I also wonder if Webyog is high on MySQL AB’s list for a buyout, given the close interaction between the two companies.
