Oracle will not kill MySQL by direct closing it, but make it close source and slow down the development and let it die. Yup, that's what maybe they planned. Becuase according to my knowledge most of the small enterprises are using MySQL instead of Oracle anymore. The growth rate is quite high for MySQL. And that's the reason creator of MySQL don't want it to let it die like that. He want to keep maintaining it. So i am with him. I hope, EC will take a decision which will not effect the development life cycle of MySQL. Other wise, there will be no more MySQL... I also read about java, you are correct, ATM they will not mess up with it and try to make money from it. Agree with you akoskm.

From side of Oracle the most simpler idea would be closing MySQL's source. It would definitely slow down the development, bugfixes etc... So they won't kill it just let it die. If they want to keep consumers and MySQL "alive", then they need to come up with a really good idea.
