Way back in 1993, I tried to get my name attached to an amicus brief for USL vs BSDi. Apparently, I missed my target as there is no mention whatsoever of my name in the docket for 832 F. Supp. 790 (1993). But if today you are using MySQL or any of its derivatives, and enjoy having an alternative to the 800 pound (albeit very nice) gorilla that PostgreSQL has become, you may want to review this petition:

Open Letter — Invitation to Discuss the Future of the MySQL Ecosystem

Add your name to this open letter and stand with thousands of others calling for change.

(letter.3306-db.org)

I just signed it. And it's weird to name an open source entity as the 800 pound gorilla.
