In the case of Facebook, they have hit the wall where the front end is still scaling, but the backend is not. It is so wedded to it's MySQL roots though, they are not in a position to replace the backend with something that scales well.

Skipping over the license issues, and going straight to the real stuff, MySQL has been shown repeatedly to have very real and finite limits on growth and scalability. Google, twitter, facebook, etc have all built foundations on MySQL only to hit walls, and implement obscenely expensive workarounds.

I still have a coup,e WO projects but most of my new work is objective c or c++ cgi implementation. It is fast, scalable, portable, and I do not have to deal with 10 layers of stack to make things work.

Marketing a proprietary SQL database these days is swimming upstream, you can't expect wide success. FrontBase fills a niche market, of which WO is probably less and less every year. As long as their goal is to target their niche (and they do so well), they will keep going. Neither FrontBase or OpenBase are ever going to replace MySQL.

The product hasn't had any public updates since 2009 - I don't think it is because there is nothing to do.
