>From the **very extensive** articles out there (and there have been a
lot of them in the last 24 hours), it is a bit early to speculate on
the becoming of MySQL. As pointed out in an article, innoDB was also
bought by oracle a couple of years ago and is still standing, open and
released (http://oss.oracle.com/).
Wait and see... (note that I am no big believer in Oracle open
sourceness either).
