As for trying to influence the status of any IP owned by Sun and acquired by Oracle ... good luck with that.

The issue with MySQL is there is a lot of stuff built on it MySQL AB said is "okay" that isn't specifically allowed in the license. That damages hundreds if not thousands of other projects that are in that gray area. Oracle has a huge incentive to enforce the actual license on these companies....so now you see the issue.
