Interesting factoid:
- MySQL was bought by Sun for $1 billion
- Burt’s Bees was bought by Clorox for $913 million
In other words, the two companies were purchased for more or less the same amounts. I’m not sure yet what that really means, if anything, other than that lip balm might be as good a business to get into as open source enterprise software.
