Assuming MySQL as it stands today is 100% open source,
I think an easier path is to create a new project from
the currently existing sources.  Call it something else,
dbXYZ for instance.  Then, Oracle can do anything it
wants to MySQL. 

I am pretty sure if Michael leads the project, the open 
source community will follow.

Can that be done or did I miss something?
If that is the case, what can Oracle really do
to hurt MySQL?

I am not against what Micheal is proposing.  I already
sent my letter to the EC.  I am asking this for my
own edification.

Thanks,
	Neil
