FOSS can always be forked and progressed from there; see MariaDB. I think most times when a project from a big company goes closed, the features added afterwards usually only benefit other big companies anyways. Right now I prefer to be happy they ever bothered at all (to make open source things), rather than prematurely discount it entirely. Maybe you weren't implying that it should be discounted entirely, but I bet a lot of people were thinking that.
