Is it even possible to really kill MySQL?
MySQL is GPL, so if Oracle does decide to pull the plug a fork can be started by the FOSS people -- I know it will be a serious setback and that it sounds easier than it is, but MySQL won't `die' ...

As a sidenote, I didn't know Oracle was so big that they could take over Sun ...
