> MySQL, an open source database developed by Oracle

Dear Facebook:

Please fix the wording emphasized above ASAP before we revolt here in outrage with your lack of attention to detail. MySQL was developed by relevant open source project contributors (initially, MySQL AB folks), but not by Oracle and even not by Sun Microsystems. MySQL has been in development for ~12 years before Sun acquired MySQL AB. Please set the record straight.

Sincerely,

MySQL user (not currently, but in the past and maybe in the future [though unlikely, because Postgre...] :-)
